Sendmail & How to reject mail with executable attachments


Hello all,

Recently I've been getting a lot of mail with attatchments "test.scr" and "appl.exe", a few of which have been identified as viruses. I'm wondering if there is any way to tell sendmail to reject any email containing an executable attatchment.

Thanks!

Chris
