Generally it is a good idea to block all attachments which are sent to mailling list.
To block it use MIME filter which you can download it here:

ftp://xmailforum.homelinux.net/ under filters directory of all OS

In that case, the sender should be informed automatically, that attachments are not allowed by that list.

For now you just get error message that message has been rejected by server filters.
It is not me who wrote this filter script. I have just added option for Xmail versions 1.16 and up. If there is anyone who want to modify it , please do so.

Our script guru MayVortex has added a sendmail option to the script so now it can send message back to the sender and informs him about the attachment policy.
As allways you can download script at ftp://xmailforum.homelinux.net
