I was noticing that most of the viruses mimedefang stops based
on the attachment's file extension have one thing in common:
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
Wouldn't it be much safer to block all application/octet-streams
regardless of extension?
Or might there be some legitimate reason somebody would be
sending applications via email?
