Rob, I use procmail here and use a procmail recipe to tag the EXE
such files. It's easier there than in SpamAssassin. I use the
"nkvir" scripts to some good effect.
(Of course, Earthlink recently got "angry" with all the Sober nonsense
and turned on everybody's SpamBlocker. My first reaction was annoyance.
Then I decided to let it keep filtering them and simply take the
results and mark THAT as spam. (One very easy test.) I still get my
running statistics; and, I get another serious level of protection. I
wish all ISPs would do something like this on general principles.)
