[Mailman-Users] Blocking Attachments

[Joe Orban]

Thanks for the replies and info.  Problem is, Im running the list on my own
servers, Im using a hosting service, so Ive no access to make these changes.
I can ask the hosts, but they will be providing for other people as well, so
that may be a problem.

This is why ideally, I need to find some way to filter them at the mailman
interface.

Joe
