No readymade solutions exist, in my opinion. But you should be able to hack together one. Metamail, if given a mail message, can extract the attachments for you. The amavis scanner uses it.
Get the amavis virus scaning script and install it according to the instructions. It breaks down the mail into its message and attachments into a directory using metamail before scanning them. At this point in the script, you can add a few lines to test for files with such extensions using "find", "grep", whatever and send back a error message to Amavis which will inform the sender, and at your option the receipient. While it is possible to do the same w/o using Amavis and just some fancy shell script,metamail and Sendmail tweaking, here you would be getting the major part of the script readymade. - Sandip On Sat, Feb 02, 2002 at 12:39:30PM +0530, Kapil Sethi spoke out thus: > Hi, > > I am using sendmail.
