l)\"?$/ REJECT For security reasons we reject attachments of this type
On the system I have been using for some years at the surgery I recently commanded it to remove _all_ attachments and file them in a suitable directory - many of them are papers that theoretically inform us of important matters. I'm looking at Postfix and I don't see how one sets it up to do that? We get a note of the filename, fully qualified as a URL, to the "_incoming" directory on the mailserver.
Spam - I think whitelisting is the best approach, not seen a filter that comes close - so I'll stick with TMDA.
The whitelisting in Spamassassin together with its various other bits seems useful. With a threshold of 3 points, it has not made a false positive for a week, although it lets through a few false negatives each day. My annoyance level has declined significantly. I think SPF is worth pushing on one's ISPs, and I'd like some sort of access token system so I can give people a selection of access tokens - one might put them on one's business cards for instance. NHS communications tend to score quite spammy, due to the use of "HTML" in eamils, and the presence of attachments, and entertainingly, the choice of email domains with 5 terminal numbers in the distinguisher for all general practices except mine. -- Adrian Midgley (Linux desktop) GP, Exeter http://www.defoam.net/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
