The attachment was a 50K excel spreadsheet.
If the mail/attachment was sent direct to the end users (bypassing
the alias) the users receive mail WITH the attachment.
If I send mail from another external source with various attachments
(.xls .txt) the users receive the mail and attachments whether sent
to the alias or direct to the end user.
It seems to be this one sender and this one attachment that when sent
via the alias never gets received.. ..weird????
