Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I may be called on to setup a system to block inbound email attachments. The only clues I've found so far, point to sendmail with procmail as a delivery agent, which calls a perl script to filter out attachments when any but a select few from fields are matched. Perl would use the mime module to help figure out what was an attachment and what was not. It seems like procmail may be a bit redundant, but may keep me from needing to write the delivery agent in perl. Has anyone out there seen anything like this done before? If the wheel has already been invented, I'd like to avoid any deadends I can.
