That wouldn't really work for me for two reasons -

1) I don't want to reject them, the fm header is usually forged - so
rejecting just sends them to someone else who more than likely did not
send it to me.

2) My postfix is only allowed to talk on my lan - I use fetchmail to pop
my accounts (which processes them with spamassassin), procmail to filter
them into my mailboxes (which is then served via imap to my clients).
postfix is used for some stuff, but only on the lan - it can't send to
outside world. To get to outside world, I use my mail account providers
smtp server.

I'm sure there is a spamassassin way to give a high score based upon
attachment extensions - I'll see if I can find it.
