Whilst you might be able to use a milter or equivalent to prevent
MIME-formatted attachments from being sent, this wouldn't prevent people
sending attachments the "old-fashioned way", by uuencoding their file
and pasting straight into the text of the mail message.

What are you *really* trying to prevent?
