MailScanner (www.mailscanner.info) can do what you are wanting to do except 
it's bit of a sledge-hammer approach to a peanut problem.  If your mail 
volume is low-ish, you could probably script something in procmail that 
could check for file names and maybe use the "file" command to determine 
the file type regardless of extension (magic isn't it?).

Maybe have a look around at packages like MailScanner that offer integrated 
virus+spam+content filtering.  I've had a lot of success with MailScanner 
and recommend it over other filters I've tried, but the choice is yours.
