If your looking for a book on Procmail:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201737906/ref=ase_webprogramminboo/026-8972717-8050000
It's been a long time since I've messed with Procmail, so I'm not really in the
position to give tips. But that book was very helpful when I was learning/using it.
However, it may be that Procmail isn't the best way to handle this situation. Every
new virus is going to have a different attachment name, and you'll have to go in and
adjust for it. If you can, use something like amavisd-new or Mailscanner with ClamAV
and/or BitDefender. All free as in beer, but BitDefender isn't OpenSource.
