Do you get a shell account? or do you have ftp access only?

If a shell account, edit it on the server, or use something like WinSCP
which supports in-transfer line ending translation.

If ftp.... There are options, but they get ugly quickly.

You want this one:

:0 Bbhfw
* 1^0 ^Content-Type:.*application/x-msdownload
* 1^0 ^Content-Type:.*\.(exe|pif|scr|com)
* 1^0 ^TNJAAGDSQACLRQheX8nDkIoGiAeLRQheX8nDkIoGiAeKRgGIRwGLRQheX8nDjUkAigaIB4pGAYhH
/dev/null

(the gibberish line is one chosen from the uuencoded attachment of the
recent virus)

I'm using the above quite successfully, on my primary MX, before it sends
the mail on to my mail server (which is behind JS), although, I'm not filing
to /dev/null, I'm demime'ing... I still see the mails, but without the huge
payload. that way I can still see how 'busy' it is.
