Not a wild thought. Yes you are correct. I was getting ready to post
my findings. We recently moved our xymon server from fedora core 3 to
SLES 11. Fedora used mail and SLES 11 mail is linked to mailx. The
windows clients are sending carriage returns in the status ^M (carriage
return). The problem occured on SuSe server
but not on redhat server, because mailx expects input text to be in Unix
format, with lines separated by <i>newline</i> (^J, \n) characters only. Non-Unix text files that use
<i>carriage return</i> (^M, \r) characters in addition will be treated
as binary data. Hence the reason we get notifications that show up as
attachments. Also explains why AIX servers don't have the problem and
the windows servers do. <br><br>Thanks<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 9:36 PM, Scott Pfister <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:icepickjazz@gmail.com">icepickjazz@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

The problem is sporadic. For example windows server throws CPU alter. E-mail sent shows up as an attachment in the recipient e-mail. AIX servers throw cpu alerts don't experience this problem. Client shouldn't matter. Any tips for troubleshooting this issue? If we open the attachment in the editor it shows what should be in the body of the email. Hobbit server is running postfix. <br>
