Most mailing lists have have policy anyway to explicity request that user respect eachother's bandwidth. Thus for these groups any mail that arrives with an attachment is probably an mS- virus or mS-worm and not welcome anyway. So Mailman ought to have a function to block messages with attachments - and that function ought to be turned on by default. There are exceptions though, so it should be possible to turn off this blocking for individual lists. There could be several behaviors to do this: 1) send the whole thing to /dev/null 2) send the attachment to /dev/null and let the text-based body through 3) do either of the above and send a warning to the sender explaining what happened etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1204262&group_id=103
