I have these setting in the list configuration file for this purpose,
they seem to work fine (I've yet to see an attachement slip through).

taboo_body          <<  END
/^Content-Type: text\/html/i
/^Content-transfer-encoding: base64/i
/^begin [0-6][0-6][0-6]/
END

taboo_headers       <<  END
/^Content-Type: text\/html/i
/^Content-Type: multipart\/mixed/i
/^Content-Type: message\/partial/i
/^Content-transfer-encoding: base64/i
END


You may want to not use the text/html checks if you want to allow
HTML emails on the list.  Probably the most important check is the
taboo_header for multipart/mixed messages, but that alone won't stop
uuencoded attachements (like some email worms have been).


Hope this helps,
Mikko
