Hi Ravi,
I'm not replying because I have an answer, but the reason one is
subscribed to the list is "to get help", and help is always provided
here.
I believe it's useless to go "please help".
I'm just saying...

Dear Mr Shanker,
You can probably do this by creating a postmaster filter and/or a
ticket event module; this would require writing Perl.
Can I ask for the use case you have for this?
Someone sends in an email: "See the screenshot"... and then you just
scrubbed the attachments! It does not sound very useful to me...

Usecase is:
Attachments with .dll or .exe extensions are sent over email.

Suggestion: use procmail to run SpamAssassin and/or CRM114 on incoming mail before you inject it into OTRS via postmaster.pl and discard any incoming email with a spam score of > 10. That's going to be much more effective than filtering inside OTRS. You might want to just go to a whitelist approach (ie, block anyone except known customers) in your MTA.
