blocking BHX files with MIME

..is done by filtering for the following string:

YmVnaW4gNj

This string appears as the first ten bytes of the first line of a BHX 
file encoded in MIME (eg. as it appears in an email).  So all BHX 
files can be filtered by searching for that string.

I forward this info as I've seen some BHX files come in recently 
attached to fake bounce messages, I presume its a virus of some kind 
but I didn't bother to open one so I couldn't be sure ... of course 
if you/your users have a use for BHX attachments, don't block them.

This technique is a variation of that used to block all EXEs, ZIPs 
and WMFs previously detailed in this forum and also on the web at 
various places, including here:
