Topic: How to block certain file types from uploading.

In the iredmail 0.6.1, all types of files are getting uploaded through web mail client. I would like to block certain file types like .exe, .dll,vbs etc. from uploading.
They should not get uploaded even they are in zipped form.
I would also like to block double file extensions which carry viruses like <name>.doc.exe,<name>.xls.dll etcc.
Is is possible ?

Please help me.

Amavisd can do this for you, search "$banned_filename_re" in amavisd.conf first.

Thanks for the help.
Is it necessary to modify both main.cf and amavisd.conf or only amavisd.conf is sufficient ?
pls clarify me
