Hmmm, wonder if I can whip up a filter with set, switch to unix line endings, pipe through procmail, switch back to mac lineendings, write the modified file. Oh, boy isn't this fun!!
As to bandwidth, at least it would save the 50% of bandwidth used by clients downloading, and, more importantly, stop the phone calls.
Really sad to say it but I think today is the day that sims has become obsolete. Oh, how I wish Stalker had an alternative I could justify cost-wise. I don't need the cadillac that Communigate is, just a regular old chevy would do fine. (pulling postfix book off shelf...)

I don't suppose it would be possible to have it process client mailboxes on our SIMS machine via an afp share, would it?
I think so:
formail -s procmail < /path/to/mbox
You may have issues with that. I believe the SIMS mailboxes are mbox except that they use carriage return instead of linefeed for line endings, and formail is unlikely to find that at all amusing.
if the path is on a afp mount it shouldn't matter
Are SIMS mailboxes even in mbox format?
er... yes.
Sorta. Note above.
We've gotta do something about this, and quick. the bandwidth alone is killing us.
procmail will not help with the bandwidth at all since it runs AFTER the mail is accepted. To help with bandwidth you will need to do something else that can examine the message contents for the virus and reject it at the SMTP transaction stage.
Even there nothing will really help with bandwidth inbound. To see the .pif attachment you need to get the message data. Whether or not you accept after that does nothing to save bandwidth in SMTP, only storage and presumably bandwidth for users picking up mail.
