[Mailman-Users] Setup list to strip attachments?

[John DeCarlo]

Chas,

I can't say what CPanel allows you to do or not do.  FAQ 3.10 is about 
the Privacy Options admin web page.

What you want is available from the Content Filtering admin web page. 
Hopefully CPanel allows you access to the same sort of thing.

Here is the intro text explaining how Content Filtering works:
"Policies concerning the content of list traffic.

Content filtering works like this: when a message is received by the 
list and you have enabled content filtering, the individual attachments 
are first compared to the filter types. If the attachment type matches 
an entry in the filter types, it is discarded.

Then, if there are pass types defined, any attachment type that does not 
match a pass type is also discarded. If there are no pass types defined, 
this check is skipped.

After this initial filtering, any multipart attachments that are empty 
are removed. If the outer message is left empty after this filtering, 
then the whole message is discarded. Then, each multipart/alternative 
section will be replaced by just the first alternative that is non-empty 
after filtering.

Finally, any text/html parts that are left in the message may be 
converted to text/plain if convert_html_to_plaintext is enabled and the 
site is configured to allow these conversions."
