RE: Email attachment scanner

Hello Dharmu.

I was looking into blackmail
(http://www.jsm-net.demon.co.uk/blackmail/blackmail.html).  It's already
pretty configurable; but with minor mods, you'd be able to scan full message
content prior to Sendmail.  This allows use of a standard set of tools to
check for virii, SPAM, and "non-standard" messages that may pose a security
risk.

Using blackmail as a proxy also allows you to genericize the error message
in an effort to mask the real reason the message is being rejected.

I'm sure that there is a better solution, but this is the best I've come up
with.

Is it possible to filter the attachments for the trojans? 
I am running Redhat 7.2 with iptables enabled.
I am redirecting my smtp port to the actuall smtp server where we have
hosted.
that is
192.168.0.1:25 to mail.xxx.com:25
