Someone received an email with an attachment, att00001.bin.

It was supposed to be a pdf. Does anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? I would attach it but it is not in the list of acceptable attachments. The user is running Outlook 2003 and our Exchange server is 2007 on a 2003 server.

You should probably report the error to the owner of the app of file a bug report. A simple google search shows quite a few bugs like this for home-grown web apps.
