Greetings,
For the last two days I've gotten 100's of emails containing exe files. Bogus microsoft updates and patches. Each piece is around 150k which makes for a long download on dialup. Are there any filters that can delete emails at the server that have an exe attached.
I can put up with a little spam, but this is out of control.
TIA
Chris
I had this same problem, then checked the procmail mailing list (nntp://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.procmail) to see if anyone had a good recipe for it.
I created a mail folder called null that is just a symbolic link to /dev/null and used this recipe that works great.

I've been seeing this as well, around 600 emails since Thursday evening, and our email server is slowing down because of it... Would running a procmail script like this actually help the server deal with the excessive traffic though?

I think it would help a bit. Instead of having to process hundreds of ~150Kb messages and append them to the end of mail files, it just sends them into oblivion.
