May'be u have a firewall or DMZ configuration that is causing the problem. Guess ur iNotes access is in a DMZ or has a firewall in front. U may try sending a .jar file or even an .exe file and try opening via iNotes to find out for sure. If u are blocking PDF files, u'll most likely be blocking EXE files. Also u check the below: Click Preferences > Mail tab > Make sure the name of the mail owner is specified and then Save and Close

This issue has been resolved. It was a hotfix that was applied to the affected servers. We had HF263 and applying HF281 resolved it.
