Attachment size rule?

Does anyone know how I could write a rule based on an attachment size?
I'm getting a lot of spams with this specific file attached.  It's
always named differently, the the size is exactly the same each time.

A plugin could do it rather trivially.  There's no way using the normal rules
to do it, even if attachments were included for the non-full rules.

Not easily. You could probably write a plugin to do it, but most of the SA 
code tries fairly hard to remove attachments from the message before 
feeding it to the rules.

This might be a better job for mimedefang, mailscanner, or similar.

Razor might also be effective, as e4 does treat each mime part as a 
separate element, and can identify the recurring attachment as spam. Since 
SA supports Razor already, this would be pretty easy to add...

related to kazakhistan and other countries economy ?
