you need demime (or other simialr tools)
<http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html>
I've looked into demime and it seems like a nice tool but a) there are
no pointers to how to impliment it via a procmail filter (i.e. globally)
and b) it doesn't strip the attachments it "flattens" them into text,
while this is fine for .exe and other executable files it does less to
prevent other types of exploits (example: .bat or .url) which are
already basically text.
I want to prevent the recpient from ever seeing any unapproved type of
attachment. Users are strange and do un-natural things. It's best just
to take the option away completely instead of leaving a riddle. :)
Thanks for the tip on demime, could you give me an idea of these other
tools you know of?
