Does this server receive email from the internet? Do you want to strip attachments from both inbound and outbound email or just inbound email? The solution may vary, or require two separate solutions, depending on the answers to these questions. The solution may also vary depending on whether this is a relay/gateway server or one that delivers mail to local maildirs or to a local IMAP server such as dovecoat. We need more details before we can steer you in the correct direction. For instance, if you deliver mail locally to dovecoat, and you only want to strip attachments from inbound mail, you can do this within dovecoat. If this is a gateway/relay only Postfix server, you will likely have to implement inbound and outbound policy filters for stripping the attachments. -- Stan
