Er, just thinking out loud here, but wouldn't it be easier to create a
SpamAssassin rule which matches the MIME header giving the details of an
attachment, and then give that rule a sufficiently high score that it exceeds
your Spam High Score and gets dropped (assuming that's what you do with Real
Spam)?

Alternatively you could try Julian's new content filtering MCP rules, looking
for the same sort of thing, but bear in mind that's not even classified as
alpha code yet (although saying that, I'd have a lot more confidence in
Julian's alpha code than in some other vendors' delivered code...)

Just my 2p,

Antony.
