There's a great filtering set of procmail rules for this located at: http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/procmail-security.html As long as you have procmail installed and sendmail is configured to use procmail, just drop this stuff in place and you'll instantly start filtering stuff based on content and/or extension. There's a lot of configuration and customization you can do with this thing, and we've found that it works fantastic. We've intercepted the "AnnaKournikova" virus many, many times since it's initial release, and I can't even count the number of other virii I've seen trapped since we installed this.

You can't filter the message content using a ruleset (which is where attachments are located), but you can use the new milter API to do filtering. It's available in 8.10.x and later, but you might as well use 8.11.3 if you're going to upgrade anytime soon. I'm currently setting up this exact type of filtering at my current client by using a tool called MIMEdefang (http://www.roaringpenguin.com/mimedefang/) The examples that come with it show you how to filter out attachments that you don't want, but the main bits are in Perl so you can configure to your heart's content. :) Basically a C program interfaces with sendmail. That C program (per message -- not per recipient/etc) then calls a perl script which reads your configuration and acts appropriately. Right now, I have it striping out vbs/exe/com/bat attachments (removed the attachment from the mail and adds a text/plain section explaining that the attachment was removed). It's not the easiest bit of software to get installed and running, but if you're comfortable with compiling/installing from source and at least semi-comfortable with sendmail configuration (the amount needed for milter isn't much), then you'll be golden. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: I expect people to expect Perl to do the right thing. -- Larry Wall in <199911192358.PAA24109(a)kiev.wall.org>

Filtering attachments via a Sendmail ruleset?

by Dave Coutu

Hey Guys, Really simple question here... A while back I had asked whether sendmail could filter out mail based on a subject header , and found out that it could. Now I have a situation here at work where we want to filter out attachments, the obvious being .vbs, .exe, basically anything that may contain a virus. We don't run anti-virus software on the mail server that mail is being delivered to, nor on the sendmail relays feeding into it, since they are Solaris boxes and we currently don't have a unix version of Norton lying about. But I believe that we can filter out attachments through a sendmail ruleset, and I am wondering if this is the case. If so, can someone tell me how/where to do it please? Would be very appreciative for any help here! Thanks in advance! Dave

Hi all, WOW! The response has been great! Here's what I've got for volunteers so far: Critique the slides ------------------- Scott Venier Dean Deaver Doug Waud Tom Manders Conduct Demos ------------- Tim Keller Doug Waud Mark Komarinski I was hoping we could get 1 or 2 more people to do demos. I suspect that 4 people is enough to sufficiently critique the slides. The Delphi Developers group meeting takes place at: Allaire Corporation 275 Grove Street Newton, MA Check out their website for directions: http://www.discom.com/delphi/meeting/MeetingDirections.html The meeting is scheduled to start at 7:00 PM so we should probably get there early enough to setup, say 6:30 PM on Monday, April 23rd. I'd expect the traffic in this area to be pretty heavy at that time of day due to rush hour. I will find out more of the logistical information, such as, how much table space do we have, how many outlets, etc. Also, would somebody be kind enough to allow me to use their laptop for the presentation since I don't own a laptop? I'll export the presentation to HTML if necessary, or if you have StarOffice already installed, I'll use that. (Maybe its time I bought one instead of lugging around my full tower...).

I do not have a very big budget but would define "VPN connections". do you mean IPSec, or some third-party (ie: proprietary) VPN connection? If you want IPSec, you can look at FreeS/WAN which interoperates with several different vendor's IPSec implementations. (http://www.xs4all.nl/~freeswan/) As was mentioned, PPP over SSH works (klugy, but I've done it and it works fairly decently) as well. ipchains/iptables will take care of your firewalling needs.

I had planned to prepare a 45 - 60 minute talk, Q/A, and then demonstrate some apps for them, such as: StarOffice Netscape Developer tools and utilities VmWare LILO Desktops - KDE, Gnome, enlightenment, etc. Installation of Linux The above list was suggested to me by their representative as a list of things that would be interesting to their developers group. I am seeking 2 or 3 people would like to volunteer to demo some of these tools at the meeting, and who can provide support for the questions which I can't answer. I'm looking for folks with systems or laptops that they are willing to bring to this meeting for the demos. I would also appreciate a volunteer or two who would be willing to critique my presentation slides before the meeting. You would not need to actually attend the meeting. I'd e-mail the slides to you and request your written feedback. The Delphi group representative will also get a sneak preview.

ipchains/iptables will do what you want. I forget the actual syntax, but you just canmaek a script (traditionally caleld rc.firewall) in your startup scripts and have ti run ipchains/iptables with the correct info. I can find out what the correct syntax is if you ened it. You can prolly do ipchains --help or iptables --help (for 2.4.x) These are free solutions btw.
