Our main e-mail server runs sendmail with two milters. The first is dccm, with bulk mail rejection and whitelisting. The second is the Trend Micro virus scanner. This configuration works very nicely, and is greatly appreciated by our e-mail users. I'd like to enhance this system by having sendmail reject or delete e-mail containing certain MIME attachment types, for example Windows EXE and PIF files. Even though both of these filters do MIME parsing, neither of them can do anything like that according to file type. Could DCC be extended to know about safe and unsafe attachment types, and deal with them appropriately? Alternatively, is there another milter that can do this? It needs to be multi-threaded, like the other two, rather than multi-process. Our mail server regularly has over 500 simultaneous SMTP sessions running. 500 copies of perl would not be a good idea. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking-
