I have a service which processes attachments, so rather than give a list of disallowed attachments, I want to do the opposite and only give a list of allowed attachments. In this case only emails containing a .ecf attachment should be allowed through, nothing else, including emails without an attachment should be received.

I don't think you can reject emails based on their lack of an attachment with mime-header-checks as it will not check messages without mime headers.

Or is that not what you mean?

If the fact that Dr. Venema is the father of Postfix alone isn't enough to get
government workers to listen to him WRT Postfix issues, they should also take
into account he has a Ph. D. in Physics and is an IBM researcher at the Thomas
J. Watson Research Center. Talk about credentials...WOW.

Summarily blowing off *free* advice from someone of this caliber is not a
prudent move. Nor is making potentially offensive statements that may land
one's emails in Wietse's /dev/null.

One may wish to take all of this into account, before making one's next post
to this list, or to Wietse.

[etc]

Enough. I showed some irritation when he dismissed advice that I
spent 15 minutes on, and over-estimated the length of his fuse.
