procmail executable attachment filtering.

2001-08-09 08:15:18
     Hi all.

     Anybody know of a procmail filter to make a note of and trash any
attachment which appears to be executable or a program procmail can
run which might do something similar?  We run senmail with procmail,
smrsh, and all the other good stuff for noise reduction.  But some of
our systems (notably Windows variants) have been getting viruses, worms,
what have you.  We would very much like to redce the pollution further
by removing anything obviously executable or anything with a known
signature etc.

     Thank you.
