Take a look at MailScanner (http://www.mailscanner.info).
It is meant to be the interface between sendmail or Exim and a commercial command line virus scanner. But wait...there's more 8-) It also has a attachment manager so you can filter out .exe files (and any/all the other popular virus-created file extensions). You might have to get creative with some procmail rules to keep these messages from getting to your box, but at least there is already code checking for attachments. ~Todd >In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, >Daniel Pittman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > MIMEdefang <http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/> does exactly what > > you want.
