This is sure to garner some flames...

How about filtering/bouncing all messages with a Content-type of
multipart/alternative from the mailing lists.

Just doing my part to ensure readable e-mail :-)

To make it simple for the maintainer: part of my .cf file on another
machine (modified, since I run sendmail 8.10).

HContent-Type: $>CheckCT
KParseCT regex -a<@> multipart/alternative|html

SCheckCT
R$+ $: $(ParseCT $1 $: <OK> $)
R<OK> $@ OK
R$* $#error $: 553 content-type not accepted here

I agree. I think that we should bounce mail that has pgp signatures as
well. They are annoying.

Wouldn't this discussion be filtered out by your filter? IOW it
ain't just filtering the headers from what I see. But I'm a regep
newbie so mayhap I'm missing something where you limit the filter's
scope.

HContent-Type: $>CheckCT
means that the ruleset CheckCT is only applied to the header
Content-Type:
If that header has "multipart/alternative" or "html" in it,
then an error is generated.
