After you send an e-mail message by using a Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Edge server, you receive a non-delivery report (NDR) message that includes the following information:

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
  • The e-mail message contains a .zip file attachment.
  • The Attachment Filtering agent is enabled on the Exchange 2007 Edge server.
If you enable tracing for Exchange 2007, an exception exists. This exception indicates that the .zip file attachment is invalid. However, you can correctly open the attached .zip file.
