    Folks,

    Why don't we make a really simple anti-virus program, which simply rejects
    all .doc, .exe, etc attachements? I for one would love to have such a
    possibility in postfix configuration. Something like:

    ***********************************************************************
    Do yo want to bounce all emails with dangerous attachements(*) back to
    sender? (Y/N)

    (*) .exe, .doc, (give a full list here) attachements are known as
    source of computer viruses, and therefore potentially dangerous. While
    many anti-virus programs exist, which scan such attachements, the
    simplest way to make sure no viruses go trought is to deny ALL
    attachements of these types. While very efficient, this solution may make
    some of your users really mad at you, so use with care.
    *************************************************************************

    WDYT?

            Denis
