As much as I try to remind people NOT to >send file attachments, some still do - and some mailers automatically >insert an attachment. This is one of the things on my LISTSERV wish list. The other is a way to filter messages containing keywords in the subject line or body. I would not like to reject such postings, though. Our subscribers are allowed to post message without review for the most part. Right now whenever someone sends an attachment, we set them to REVIEW and let them know that they have a problem. Any subsequent postings from them must be approved by the moderator. We can then decide to edit out the attachment ourselves or simply to return the message with an explanation. We prefer to make those decisions on an individual basis. This procedure has solved most of our attachment problems because these tend to come from the same people. A preemptive filter would indeed be nicer for many reasons.
