I use ssmtp with mutt to send out mails to our mailserver. 

set sendmail="/usr/sbin/ssmtp"  # how to deliver mail

It worked for a long time but for the last time it has problems with
binary attachments. As an example I've sent a zip-file and tried to
unzip it on our mailserver:

unzip sh.zip
Archive:  sh.zip
error [sh.zip]:  missing 2 bytes in zipfile
  (attempting to process anyway)
error [sh.zip]:  attempt to seek before beginning of zipfile
  (please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
  appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)
  (attempting to re-compensate)
  inflating: file.doc       bad CRC e3c50fe3  (should be
5d7c7b00)
file #2:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  36817
  (attempting to re-compensate)
file #2:  bad zipfile offset (local header sig):  36817

That's all I know. 


Gruss Olaf
