You can use header_filter_rules to match on content types, e.g.,

^Content-Type:.*application/msword

but this is only practical for a limited number of anticipated types,
Also, if you chose to 'reject' matching messages, you have no control
over the reject message. You can only control the reason if you 'hold'
the message and then reject it from the admindb interface.
