Solved: Blocking .pid (and more) attachments

Thanks to Josh9s post last night, I was able to come up with a good
header_checks file that got rid of all those e-mails. (Even though I did
figure it out, I am going to look into Exim.)

Here is what I did.

In the main.cf file, activate header_checks by uncommenting the line.

Then I created a new file in /etc/postfix called header_checks.

I used some of the lines listed on
http://www.geekounet.org/filters/header_checks

Whoever wrote this, they were quite thorough. (If the author of this page is
part of this list, thanks.) I only needed four lines. Once I copied these
files, I made some small changes like changing the error message and adding
some file types to the list.

When I was done with the modifications, I compiled the header_checks.db file
and reloaded postfix.

After reloading postfix, I ran some tests. Everything is working just the
way I wanted.

Thanks again for everyone9s advice. I appreciate your help.
