Greetings all. I am trying to come up with a filter in Mail.app that marks as junk any mail message that contains an attachment of .exe type. I receive about 20-30 various .exe garbage a day (from virii to "Microsoft security update: install now!" messages from around the globe).

In mail, there doesn't appear to be a regexp way of searching for a mime attachment to filter on.

Anyone know how to do this (if possible)?

I may just do it in procmail on the server side...
Meh
