We have an application that runs on IIS and uses SMTP.  This application
sends PDF attachments directly to our main email server (which is basically
sendmail).  All of these PDF attachments appear garbled upon receipt.  PDF
attachments sent from other email system work fine.

What I am looking for is an MS SMTP specific configuration regarding
attachments and the way they are encoded to see if I can find a resolution.

Thanks

FWIW, changing nothing on IIS or SMTP, I send PDF's all the time with
no trouble.

Check on how the application is sending the PDF files. Is it sending the PDF
as the e-mail text or as an attachment?

I am having the same problem.  Attachments are being encoded with uuencode, 
which is not understood by my mail server.  The question is how to get IIS/S
MTP to encode with base64 instead of uuencode.
