stripmime.pl I went to the website but I do not understand... I don't know
perl so I don't think I would be able to hack it.
I would need something simple and easy to do.... Any help is appreciated.

At 12:34 2002-05-01 -0400, Pantelis Hadzipantelis did say:
All incoming email attachments should get discarded except for .doc and
.xls files. I can't figure out how to do this... I've been trying to find
information on how to do it but I can't find anything. I know how to
block
"a" email attachment... here is what my procmail recipe is:
You should check out stripmime.pl - a little perl program (having nothing
to do with procmail except that you can invoke it from procmail). A few
hacks, and it should do what you want - all you'd do is pipe messages to
it
as a filter.
echo "However, we do not accept attachments with that file
extension."; \
You should carefully consider inclusion of some logic for dealing with
vcard and winmail.dat, etc. type attachments (what of signed messages as
well?), or you're going to bounce a lot of stuff, and the senders are
going
to be absolutely CLUELESS as to what to do to change it, because they'll
be
there insisting they didn't send any attachments.
PS - you sent two separate copies of this request to the list, at
different
addresses for the list...
