Arms races are unwinnable, but sometimes its the only practical solution.  Checking URL's in attachments against the various spam URL databases would seem harmless and take care of most of the problem for a little while.  It won't win any races, but if it puts us ahead for a lap or two, so be it.

MailScanner does this, its written in Perl, and it should be easy to make it optionally integratable in bugzilla.  :)
