I am trying to filter mail with .exe and .zip attachments, to no success.
Are you using postfix with dovecot?
I am, (standard slackware) but I will be moving to dovecot-lda so that I
can use sieve and imap with maildirs instead of mbox.

Very useful blocking filter, many thanks.
Does it generate backscatter.?
I have come across a number of spam emails which have more than one
address in the from field. Would this filter send the spam to those
addresses by way of a mail bounce.?
The main reason for the filtering is because our broadband data
allowance was maxed out due to spam, malware spam and backscatter. I am
having to move my mail server functionality off-site and filter it on a
vps running slackware, dovecot and pigeonhole, before collecting it per
mailbox via my internal server.
