In /etc/mail/aliases, I have postmaster: "|/usr/local/bin/stripmime -rbm -i text/plain,text/html| /usr/sbin/sendmail -fowner-postmaster root" owner-postmaster: root Attachments other than text/plain or text/html are removed and the following annotation is inserted: #### MIME type "application/mixed" sacrificed to appease the gods #### The aliases entry looks weird and editing the various addresses seems a bit error-prone. What are other folks doing to selectively deal with unwanted attachments? Banning all attachments is unfortunately not an option... ===
