the most efektiv way against this

Your 'this' meaning 'retrying on 4xx errors'?


so far i discovered is a very simple way of folowing
the basic instruktions from german BSI Ministerium

1: all email with executable atachment got immediatly erased.
  > /DEV/NULL

That is basic. But before that, you should SMTP-reject, because
rejecting garbage is better than discarding garbage. And rejecting early
(based on a virBL) is even better than rejecting after the SMTP-DATA is
in.



2: zip and other archives have to be renamed from the sender
   and this information given to the receiver or 1:

I don't mind normal zip-attachments. Software like ClamAV detects
harmful zip-attachments.
