No, it is not possible to strip attachments at the SMTP level. SMTP
knows nothing of the contents of the message. SMTP is for mail
transfer only, not filtering. You could roll your own type of
attachment stripping routines though---and possibly even look at how
ezmlm is doing it---that strip attachments before handing it over to
the mailing list software. This would probably need to be done using
a dot-qmail but my guess is that you could do it with a nice perl
script or whatever language you are familiar with. All this seems
unecessarily superfluous since ezmlm already handles this nicely,
but it sounds like you want your own solution... :-)

p.s. If LISTAR has such a big feature list, why can't it do the
stripping for you?!? ;-)
