And this is Kill viral attachments, written Jul 30, 2004, and concerning Uncategorized

Since bloody Mozilla Thunderbird seems to (a) be screwing up on me something vicious (if you sent me a mail and were expecting a response, you might want to send it again) and (b) won’t let you filter messages on body content (why? why? why?), I’ve added a .forward file that looks like this:

# Exim filter
if $message_body matches "name="[^"]+\.zip"" or
  $message_body matches "name="[^"]+\.scr"" or
  $message_body matches "name="[^"]+\.exe"" or
  $message_body matches "name="[^"]+\.pif""
then
  save /home/aquarius/mail/Dodgy-Attachments
endif

That should kill off most of the virus mail I get.

I was already using SpamAssassin and now I’ve started using ClamAssassin and ClamAV

This combination, used through Procmail, nsures 99.9% of junk is junked.
