Did you read the follow-ups to that thread at
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-January/041697.html
and
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-January/041706.html

If you really want to "reject ALL messages with attachments" just put

multipart/alternative
text/plain

in pass_mime_types as mentioned in the first message referenced above.
Or you could put just

text/plain

in pass_mime_types and reject everything except single part plain text
messages.

It isn't difficult until you start considering the non-obvious cases of
signed messages, plain text messages forwarded as attachments, plain
text attachments, etc. and what you want to do in those cases.
