[gentoo-dev] blocking virii-like attachments on gentoo.org email

[Kurt Lieber]

Folks --

We are looking at potentially blocking any/all attachments sent to
developer email addresses with one of the following extensions:

jse?|exe|com|cmd|shs|hta|bat|scr|pif

These extensions are most notable for a) not having much, if anything, to
do with Linux and b) having a whole lot to do with windows-based viruses.

The blocking would be more of a convenience to you all -- designed to get
rid of those virii from your inboxes.  However, I didn't want to implement
it without posting it for discussion here first.

Unless there's significant negative feedback on this idea, we will be
implementing it later this week.
