But CAN it be done? If so- how?
Yes, you could run something on a box in front of the exchange box to filter. Many on this list have done exactly this, though I have not as yet.
I'm running Exchange V5.5 on WinNT4 and as an EXTRA protection level, want to class any emails that come in as SPAM if they have the file extentions I'm looking for.
If you simply want to flag all messages with attachments as spam, you certainly don't need spamassassin. Procmail can do that just fine. However, keep in mind that you're likely to flag NON-INFECTED messages with attachments as spam. If your company policy allows attachments, you're very likely to annoy a LOT of people.
I'm sure there are ways to do all of this with commercial software on Windows working directly with Exchange, but I do not have the financial resources to investigate. I'm limited to effective, open solutions.
