Try searching the apache archive
(http://issues.apache.org/eyebrowse/address@hidden) for "attachment" or
"attachments"
In 2.6x there existed a rule called MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE that would score
certain file types. It's been removed in SA 3.x. To have this functionality
in SA, you need to write the rule yourself. I think they wanted to thicken the
line between spam filtering and virus filtering. Antivirus software is much
better for handling attachment policies.
Some milters, including this one I think, won't even send messages over a
certain size to SA because SA is very inefficient with large messages. So,
depending on your setup, if somebody sends a large executable to your mail
server it may not even be scanned by SA.

Nate,
Thanks for the quick reply but I think that I have tried that to NO
avail. Can you be a little more specific?? I have searched for exe,
pif, scr and found nothing for pif.
