I would like to filter out attachments with 'exe' & 'vbs' extensions (for

'.procmailrc' file?

I would also like to make this feature global for the entire server -- for
all user accounts. Would I place the '.procmailrc' file in the '/etc'
directory? Thank You!

Greetings Dave,

The following regexp will block exe's and executable script files:
(note that between the $[  ] in the second line is a SPACE+TAB)

* 9876543210^0 ^Content-[-a-z0-9_]+:.*="?[^"]*\.(vb[se]|ws[fh]|hta|shs|exe) * 9876543210^0 B ?? ^Content-[-a-z0-9_]+:.*($[ ].*)*="?[^"]*\.(vb[se]|exe|ws[fh]|h$

Then, at then end of your recipe, have it sent to:

Blocked.mail (or whatever you want)

To apply the recipe globally, rename the ".procmailrc" file to just "procmailrc" and place it in the "/etc" directory. Hope this helps.

Regards,
Stephen
