Re: Researching spamblock/antivirus/attachment filters on mail servers



for procmail i use this two recipes:

:0B
* (^See the attached file for details)
${MAILDIR}.Virus/

:0B
* (^Please see the attached file for details)
${MAILDIR}.Virus/

maybe it would be better to use
* (^(Please see|See) the attached file for details)
but I didn't tried. It was easier and I didn't have time to experience.
${MAILDIR}.Virus/ could be changed to /dev/null but I like to see my every
email (including the infected mails).
