Another option is to use one of the generic virus-snagging recipes

I see you've got my set listed there.
My recipes won't catch the ZIP version because they're targeted at
constructs designed to trick the mail reader application into auto-
executing the attachment, or deliberate filename obfuscation. They
don't do much to protect people from clicking on something they should
not.
Thanks for the info Bart. I'll add a link to your message above
next to my link to your recipes.
Exactly. Well said, and concisely. Perhaps I will add a read-me
file to the gzipped file I provide stating this and telling users
they can add ZIP, etc., if they wish to, though it's against my
intent.
Dallman, please do add something to both the read-me and the
virussnag.rc and virussnag.gz files.
I just updated my Snagging Viruses section, which is here
<http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#viruses>
and I would really appreciate feedback. My page has gotten about
300 hits in 9 hours and normally I get about 300 hits in 24
hours so lots of people are looking at this and it's important
that I don't lead them astray.
Thank you all very much,
Nancy
