What is the easyest / best way to block email attachments. As most email born viri are attachments I would like to block them. I have spamassassin setup OK on my SuSE 8.2 and I have an IPcop firewall with Dansguardian.

Well I'm stupid about using spamassasin. I use a set of scripts I wrote, which login and sample all the pop mail before I download it. I just put that in my "contentbad" file and the script just deletes it on the server. I'm sure spamassasin and Dansguardian have a way of setting a bad Content-type. Look for a section that allows you to stop html mail, it probably has a listing somewhere Content-Type: text/html Just add other Content-Types to the list. If anyone wants to run my scripts, you can have them to try. You can customize them quite easily. It takes a bit of tweaking, and minor knowledge of regular expressions. Let me know. -- I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.
