Sažetak
The widespread and rapidly growing use of html format of e-mail is accompanied with the presence of the malicious code (viruses, trojans, worms, active scripts, redirection to malicious web contents, and other similar things), especially in the light of the widespread illegal advertising. Apart from the antivirus tools and the tools used to remove spam, on Linux mail servers there are other tools like Procmail, Maildrop, CSMail and MIMEdefang, which can also be used to filter e-mail. In this paper the authors have shown a method for the development of the programme solution which can be added to the above mentioned tools. By using the suggested method the html contents is sorted out from the messages by putting it into the compressed attachment and thus leaves the pure text in the message. The user has thus been secured from the above mentioned threats and can decide for himself whether he wants to open the attachment or not.
