Does anyone know of some type of module, or frontend for MM thatfunctions similar to what the Listar (http://www.listar.org) program does with attachments? Listar will strip any MIME content off of the message and dump it to an URL accessible address and will then forward the message on through, with that URL in it.
It puts this footer to the message when it forwards it:-- Attached file removed by Listar and put at URL below -- -- Type: application/zip -- Size: 41k (42529 bytes) -- URL : http://blah.blah/<file>.zip
(above example was for a zip file)-- W | I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere. +-------------------------------------------------------------------- Ashley M.

Not exactly what you are looking for, but one of my favorite solutions to the problem of folks being attachment crazy: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/
Also, Listar is Open Source... so feel free to grab any part you want and integrate it into your install.

I run a bunch of my lists through an anti-spam procmail filter before I hand them off to Mailman. It didn't require changing either procmail or Mailman. What I did was I put my procmail filter in /etc/procmailrcs/mailman and chowning it to the user and group that I configured as the --with-mail-gid, then replacing the list alias with:
#lugor-announce: "|/usr/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post lugor-announce" lugor-announce: "|/usr/bin/procmail -m MAILMAN=lugor-announce /etc/procmailrcs/mailman"
The last two lines of the procmail filter are:
:0 |/usr/home/mailman/mail/wrapper post ${MAILMAN}
I bet you could also do it by putting in a hidden alias for the list, and having procmail use formail to send it to the hidden alias with whatever changes (like the attachments stripped out).
