how could I block incomcing mail which contains a attachemnt named message.zip

I've qmail scanner and spamd, but it just score the file rather than direclty rejected....
 
You need to implement an AVirus tool like ClamAV and integrate it with your spamssassin and qmailqueue/scanner efforts. My scanner kills of virii (ClamAV is catching the message.zip virus these days) instead of delivering. You're only half way there....

view the setup for these bits here:
 
thx, but I cant just filter those e-mail by qmail itself? like setting some control file in control/ and block specific file, let say, I dont want *.exe exist in our mail.

then which AVirus is good? and has auto updated in denfinition?

 
I think it a little narrow minded to target specific extensions when there are anti-virus products (such as ClamAV) that are autoupdated with anti-virus signatures to address such baddies in any form.

You can contemplate your options from the list here:

Otherwise, setting up an autoupdating AV solution as I previously linked will do a great deal of good for all your users.

Good luck.
