If you mean that you attach the file and send it from Outlook, and
then the Linux recipient views the message and sees a "winmail.dat"
file, then that is a very well known problem with Outlook.  Here's
Microsoft's support page explaining how to fix Outlook:

  http://support.microsoft.com/kb/278061

If you instead mean that mail sent by Linux users show up with
"winmail.dat" when viewed in Outlook, then that is bizarre.  If this
is happening, then all I can think is that there must be something on
the Windows receiving end that is manipulating the messages and adding
the winmail.dat; perhaps a filter or relay in an Exchange server.
