Postfix can do this so my suggestion stands. Look for body_checks in Postfix.

I wasn't aware postfix had that as a builtin. I stand corrected.

However, as mouss pointed out, the body scanning capabilities in postfix (and milter-regex) are simpistic compared to the decoding abilities in SA. They'd certainly suffice to prune the low-hanging fruit, as this example was, but would not be robust in the face of obfuscation (which is not a reason to avoid using them!).
