Erik,
The instructions on this web page,
http://www.webhits.de/tools/sendmail-postfix-sobig.html, at the very bottom,
are just different enough from what you entered to raise some questions.
(postfix part pasted in below)
First, do you have the mime_header_checks entry in your main.cf file?
Probably, or I don't think it would log things.
Second, the /^\s*Content line is a little different from what you have.
Might be worth a try using this example line they have.
Bill
The generic solution is to disallow certain known to be dangerous attachment
types. In main.cf you must use:
mime_header_checks = regexp:/etc/postfix/mime_header_checks.regexp
and /etc/postfix/mime_header_checks.regexp contains:
/^\s*Content-(Disposition|Type).*name\s*=\s*"?(.+\.(lnk|asd|hlp|ocx|reg|bat|
c[ho]m|cmd|exe|dll|vxd|pif|scr|hta|jse?|sh[mbs]|vb[esx]|ws[fh]|xl))"?\s*$/
REJECT Attachment type not allowed. File "$2" has the unacceptable extension
"$3"
The leading space before REJECT is important!
Don't forget "postfix reload"!
