There is much interest here in the idea of blocking email carrying
ExploreZip so we don't have to rely on end-user intelligence(?!) to
prevent an infestation. I realise that sticking filters into the pipe
like this is not necessarily as good idea but nonetheless ...
Assuming I had a reliable "fingerprint" in a mail message, I could write
a quick perl script to parse for that fingerprint and `cat /dev/null`
any mail matching the print (or maybe just forward it to me or
whatever). My questions are a) has anyone inserted scripts into the pipe
like this before, b) does anyone have an example script, c) how do I go
about putting it into the pipe?
My Setup: I have and external mail gateway running qmail which forwards
legit mail to an internal mail hub running Netscape Messaging Server,
which the end-users access with IMAP.
A qmail savvy friend of mine has indicated that this is _not_ a good
idea but nonetheless I need to consider it.
