Maybe he's got Windoze clients using his machine as their server.
V>Also, not all e-mail that has those extension is bad. Deep-sixing

The solution I sent only renames the attachments so that they are not
executable... the user has to takes steps to manually reverse it and the
presumes they know how/or know what they're doing enough they they know
that receiving an attchment making jokes about dwarves and snowwhite is
not a joke.
V>Plus, you have to accept the e-mail before you can determine if it contains
V>any such attachments. I do not know if you can tell sendmail to pass it

procmail... which is the solution I sent.
V>If I were a user on your system and you deep-sixed all e-mail containing
V>said extension, you'd be getting some nasty e-amil from me. But, if it is
V>for you and only you, then good luck in trying to do it.
