We should'nt filter out all mail with MIME enclosures, as occasionally MIME enclosures are validly used on FreeBSD lists, But to list a few WIBNIs: (WIBNI = Woundn't It Be Nice If ) We could bounce/kill all postings containing MIME with .exe spam. (We have uuencode in the rare event we need to broadcast a binary.) We could bounce/kill postings containing MIME with .doc enclosures, stopping: more spam & EG non Unix oriented people dumping .doc resumes on jobs@freebsd. OK, it would also reject .doc format job adverts, some may not like that, but if a company is so uncaring/incompetent they can't even reformat a bounced .doc in ascii or some public format, I'm not interested. We could also bounce/kill postings containing Content-Type: text/html; charset=big5 & other non latin fonts, as we all use latin fonts on freebsd lists, it being the only one we all understand. Sure some people set charset=big5 by mistake (& then send ascii anyway), & they are discussing real FreeBSD issues, but it'd cut spam from non latin charset originators. We could also bounce/kill postings containing possibly auto-load HREFs ? (Do they exist as such ? I got one direct, not from a BSD list, looks rather innocuous initially, starting: ] ----- ] MIME-Version: 1.0 ] Content-Type: text/html; charset=big5 ] Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 ] ] PCFET0NUWVBFIEhUTUwgUFVCTElDICItLy9XM0MvL0RURCBIVE1MIDQuMCBUcmFuc2l0aW9u ] YWwvL0VOIj4NCjxIVE1MPjxIRUFEPjxUSVRMRT6rT67JsbazbsXppUCsyTwvVElUTEU+DQo8 ] TUVUQSBjb250ZW50PSJ0ZXh0L2h0bWw7IGNoYXJzZXQ9YmlnNSIgaHR0cC1lcXVpdj1Db250 ] ZW50LVR5cGU+DQo8TUVUQSBjb250ZW50PSJNU0hUTUwgNS4wMC4yNjE0LjM1MDAiIG5hbWU9 ] R0VORVJBVE9SPjwvSEVBRD4NCjxCT0RZIGJnQ29sb3I9I2ZmZmZmZiBsZWZ0TWFyZ2luPTAg ] dG9wTWFyZ2luPTA+DQo8VEFCTEUgYm9yZGVyPTAgY2VsbFBhZGRpbmc9MCBjZWxsU3BhY2lu ] ---- But EXMH hangs seemingly waits for my gateway, & can also can show it as: ] -------- ] ] ??????? ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
