XCLN: StuffIt Delux Files Received with Incorrect File (157948)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client 4.0
This article was previously published under Q157948 SYMPTOMS Microsoft Exchange connectors (for example, the Internet
Mail Connector [IMC] and the AppleTalk message transfer agent [ATMTA]) change
an incoming StuffIt Delux attachment (that is, type=.sitd) to the more basic
version of StuffIt (that is, type=.sit!). This makes the file open incorrectly
in the Microsoft Exchange Macintosh client. WORKAROUND To work around this problem, do one of the following:
- Save the file to the hard disk drive.
- Start StuffIt Delux.
- Open the file.
-or- NOTE: The following workaround is for the
Microsoft Mail AppleTalk Connector only. - On any computer running Microsoft Exchange Server and
Windows NT Server with AppleTalk Connectors configured, look in
<exchsrvr>\connect\msmcon\maildata\macgate\ini\mappings.txt
for an entry for files with the .sit extension. It reads:
.SIT=StuffIt file:SIT!:SIT!:Binary
- Comment out this line, by inserting a number sign (#). This
ensures that the file is sent in macbinary format.
NOTE: This
probably wasn't an issue with older versions of StuffIt where archives didn't
contain a resource fork. - Stop and restart the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks and
AppleTalk Connector services.
- Send a test message with StuffIt Delux file from AppleTalk
Mail to Microsoft Exchange Server. Use the Microsoft Exchange AppleTalk Mail
Connector, and not SMTP, for this test.
STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Exchange
version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
