Since most of the current crop of viruses forge the return path, I
suggest you do this in a courierfilter (see the man page) or not at all.
Attempting to do this after you've accepted the message will only
aggrivate people who aren't even infected.
The sad part is that since viruses are starting to include their own
SMTP engine as well, most of the infected persons will never see your
rejection message.
Understood. Obviously, the more important part of my request was how to block /
reject / bounce messages based on attachment attributes. Whether or not the
message goes out or is received is of
little importance to me at this point.
