Hello,

I would like to ask what the Postfix community thinks about base64
encoded emails.

What is the legitimate reason to use base64 encoded emails ?

Seems to me, it is only being used by spammers to complicate body_checks

Would it be crazy to want to configure Postfix to not accept base64 ?

I believe email should be plaintext. I don't like HTML emails either. If
somebody feels that his message needs fancy formatting, he should send
it as pdf attachment. But emails should stay plaintext.

Hypothetically, If I wanted to block base64 and HTML, what would be the
best way to do it ?
At what stage in the mail delivery pipeline ?

thanks,
