I see. We are blocking executable content at smtp level where we can
give the sender a 5xx error message, but still dump .pif and others with
qmail-scanner. And I do not feel very comfortable to just /dev/null
those mails without notifying sender or recipient. But again, checking
my logs, only a small amount of mails containing .pif are valid, so I
live with it.
Thanks for clarification
Alex
