But my problem is that all mail that has picture attachments or even pps, gets sent to spam(_at_)mydomain(_dot_) Messages with txt attachment come through. How would i allow attachments to come through ?

That's hardly surprising -- you're filtering stuff based on 3 letters in the body? XXX or sex? Not even case sensitive? That's going to block almost any good-sized uu-encoded attachment.

Procmail wasn't exactly designed to filter spam. You should, at minimum, investigate the scoring features. Or, if you're intelligent, check into spamassassin.

Of course, since you're blocking xxx and sEx, you're not even going to see my reply.... *sigh*
