Would you just type this rule in the SMTP security?

I totally agree however if the rule does not catch the attachment what's
worse?
how about this?
B~"=.*\pvbs":NUL
just add the = so at least there has to be =filename.ext

____________________________________________________________Well, the syntax
of how attachments are marked depends on the type of mail
encoding (mime, base64, uuencode, binhex...). Some use filename=, some use
name=, and you found out that there is attachment= as well. Thank you for
contributing this knowledge.
To make sure, somebody had to find out (by studying RFC's or by trying every
type of encoding) the other possible syntaxes. I don't have the time.
The rule which you propose
B~".*\pvbs":NUL
would trash every mail containing the text .vbs instead of deleting only the
mails with attachments ending in .vbs. I think this would be infeasible.
Any other suggestions?

however it misses the file entirely if the attachment phrase does not
include file=. Our older server sends Attachment= "whatever" so the
name=would miss that entirely.
Maybe our older one is the only server that ever sent files this way but I
doubt it. I think the only way to catch them is to look for the filename
only and not include the name= at all...
