On our side I have reacted in banning the messages that have specifficaly named 
attachment (lately those were invoice_2016_52323.doc). So we are blocking 
those. But to answer your question. I tried F-Prot virus scanner and one of the 
results it gives back is number of macros discovered in the document. So you 
could use that to reject documents with macros.

Best regards,

Subject: Detecting Crypto Trojans

Hello List,

does someone have an idea how to block those crypto trojans, which come in as 
office documents with enabled macros?
The patterns from Virus Scanners are actuelly behind the waves that come in.
Is it possible to detect macros in office documents and treat those mails as 
viruses or banned attachments?
We don't like the idea to block all office documents, wether macros or not.

regards,
Ralf Kirmis
