[rt-users] Stripping Attachments During Create

[Alex Peters]

Scrips wouldn't help you because they get processed after ticket creation.

If I were in your position I'd probably try dealing with this at the mail
delivery level, e.g. by adding some sort of postprocessor that rewrites
incoming mail when it encounters attachments with certain MD5/SHA checksums.

I imagine that doing this by attachment filename would be a bad idea,
because theoretically desired attachments could have those filenames.

I don't know whether this is technically feasible, but another option might
be to write a script (as opposed to scrip) that prunes matching attachments
from RT's database (which would also take care of tickets created up to
this point).

What is your main concern about these attachments reaching RT?  Database
storage?  UI cosmetics?  Depending on the actual concern, other solutions
might exist.
