vbsfilter \- VBS attachment filter for Sendmail Milter
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B vbsfilter
.RP
.B -p
.R socket
.SH DESCRIPTION
vbsfilter will rename VBS and SHS attachments to .txt, thus rendering them
harmless.
It also renames several other extensions.
.PP
Sendmail includes a facility for plugging in custom mail filters,
called milters.
It's documented here:
.PP
https://abcbarryn.github.io/milter_api/
.SH OPTIONS
.PP
-p followed by a socket. All milters take a standardized socket argument, which specifies how they communicate with sendmail.
This will look something like "unix:/var/run/spfmilter.sock" for a
unix-domain socket, or "inet:2525@localhost" for an internet-domain socket.
The same string gets used in the INPUT_MAIL_FILTER macro in sendmail.mc.
