Postfix and Procmail only deal with stuff that's already on your machine, although, if, like I am, you are running a seperate mailserver (ya ya, Twiki howto, I know I know), then it will at least prevent any of those nasties from reaching your workstation. The nkvir procmail recipe that Stephen linked to a ways back is great for this. Mailfilter will catch stuff before it reaches your machine, but cannot really deal with attachments.
