Hi

> If you want to block incoming mails w/non-desirable attachment "types",

you can do so via the Exiscan-ACL patch.

I know, but this is not what the client wants.

the remainder of the message, then you might have to do so

the default "transport" (that program would also have to perform the
delivery),

Right, I am just searching for such a thing.


> * or by launching an external filter program via the "transport_filter"

option (that program would simply print the modified message on standard
output; Exim would proceed with the delivery at that point).

Oh, I didn't know about this one, will check the docs. Thanks.


> In either case, the logic for stripping attachments out of messages would

probably be best handled via "procmail" or a similar program, not by Exim.

Obviously.
