worms

[Charles Mangin]

i've followed all the discussion on here about RBLs, blocking relays, 
only relaying for client IPs, and i think i've managed to lock down my 
mailserver so it's pretty much (well, maybe 90%) spam free. i'm 
certainly getting a lot less, and my email address is plastered all 
over my websites. i've got spam covered, and it's only a matter of 
tweaking now. many thanks to the list for services rendered.

but how about worms? (worms? viruses? that's so out of left field! what 
makes you bring that up now?)

is there any functionality in SIMS or a third party app that works in 
conjunction with SIMS to filter email based on, say file attachment 
types? something as simple as no .exe, .scr .pif... because most of the 
worm traffic i've seen looks like legitimate email (though it's forged 
headers, which confuses me.. i thought sims caught forged headers most 
of the time?) - it wouldn't even need to filter based on content, just 
look at file attachments and their names, and i'd be satisfied.

anyhoo, any help would be greatly appreciated.
