Try batemail instead. It's a perl filter which substitutes procmail as
delivery agent, filters out various attachments and then parses the
treated mail on to procmail for final delivery.

Contrast to your approach, it slips the mail contents through, and only
substitutes a range of attachments with a message which can be
customized.

The current release (0.7) still requires editing of sendmail.cf, but I
wrote some sendmail m4 macroes which should be part of the next release.
Hopefully by then I'll have sorted out filtering outbound mail too.
Until then, I can send the m4 macroes to those who needs them.

Batemail can be found on http://www.freshmeat.net .
