Dear Michael, This is the /etc/procmailrc file I use to take out spam and virus attachments...
-- :0fw | /usr/bin/spamassassin -P -c /usr/local/share/spamassassin/ :0: * ^X-Spam-Status: Yes /var/spool/mail/spam :0 HB: * ^Content-Type:.*(application|audio|multipart) * name=.*\.(bat|exe|pif|vbs|swf|scr) | formail -A "X-Virus-Status: Yes" >> /home/spam/mail/virus -- Basically, I keep an account 'spam' for reviewing all suspected spam (usually with pine), and within that account I have a pine-browsable mail folder called 'virus' that all the funny Windows email/attachments get dropped into.
