Re: Mail cleansing program

[Frank Tegtmeyer]

 I wonder if there is a mail cleansing program out there that is
 configurable and mime-compliant.

ezmlm-reject does some checks and ezmlm-send is able to remove some 
parts. Maybe this could be put together by somebody (not me :)

regards, Frank

I believe Russell Nelson wrote a script which does exactly this, called
"no-alternative".  Check www.qmail.org for a link to it.

 [Oh, I HATE people that send multipart/alternative messages where the
 text/plain message just says "You can't display HTML mail". Oh the morons.]

multipart/alternative is supposed to tell the recipient that the multiple
parts contain the same information, so they can look at whichever part is in
the format they prefer.  Clients which generate multipart/alternative messages
where the plaintext part is meaningless risk having mail thrown away unread.
