Emails with a small MP3 or WAV file is what can trigger a
response.
Could it trigger an automatic deletion by their email screening
application because of it having an attachment?
Depends on the attachment size, but yes. If the attachment falls into
the range usually used to propagate viruses, the packet sniffer may send
it to another bot for examination. In many cases, though, it simply
deletes it from the system, regardless of file extension.
However, due to the threats by RIAA and some copyright holders, some
file extensions, mp3 and wav in particular, are targeted for deletion,
or at the very least examination, by a number of ISP's, and corporate
e-mail systems.
When I left CBS, mp3's didn't make it through the corporate servers.
Period. Audio content that was for legitimate use was FTP'd to the
corporate host. I understand this policy has been softened since.
My ATT account routinely inspects attachments into and out of my
account for copyright material. And some of my colleagues have trouble
getting through with any audio file.
My work account is a lot less restricted.
AT&T spies on everything you do.
