Hi all,

I've heard of a tip using procmail to filter out malicious attachments 
and am wondering what everyones experience with this is, or whether 
there is a better/simpler/more efficient way of doing it?

The below script was found on the 1StServ message board:-

(File: /etc/procmailrc)

// begin nifty script

SHELL=/bin/sh
LOGFILE=/var/log/procmail.log
# Note: The whitespace in the [ ] below comprises a space and a tab 
character
:0
* < 256000
* ! ^Content-Type: text/plain
{
:0B
* ^(Content-(Type|Disposition):.*|[ ]*(file)?)name=("[^"]*|[^ 
]*)\.(bat|cmd|com|exe|js|pif|scr)
/dev/null
}

// end nifty script

MTIA

Axel
