well; I don't think that stripping attachments is a job for ASSP, all in
all such a feature has nothing to do with junk email filtering :) it's
more something which should be done at the MTA level; and there
already are programs which allow you to do so, for Exchange there
is http://www.madsolutions.com/ES/Main.htm which allows to strip
off the attachments and replace them with an URL or an SMB path
for other mailserver you may use scripts or the like

On the other hand, attachment *blocking* imVHo is good to have
and isn't "something from the past" :) consider that recent malware
mutates quickly, so an AV may not be able to detect a new variant
of a given worm; this in turn means that blocking "executable" mail
attachments (especially if coming from "the outside") isn't a bad
idea at all
