I don't know about de-facto, but it's what I use... hence my posting.

If Amavis lets you write snippets of Perl code, you can probably do
much the same with Amavis.

I've actually refined my code to look specifically for these regexes
in .doc, etc files if macros are detected:

   /Auto_?Open/i
   /Workbook_Open/i
   /Document_Open/i

because they're usually the ones exploited by viruses.  I use separate
regexes because Workbook_Open (unfortunately) appears reasonably often
in legitimate Excel spreadsheets.  The other two are rarer in legit
documents.  It's handy to be able to score them separately.

If the Microsoft Office document is a new-style document that's really
a zip file, I just stream it with "unzip -p" and look for those same
regexes.

We've had very good luck with this method.

Regards,

Dianne.
