Does anyone know if procmail can
a) identify all attachments of an email (eg my running them through
an md5 checksum) and if matched against a database(file)
b) remove that attachment
c) same for in-line images etc
The short answer is "No."
The longer answer is "Procmail can be used to run a tool that does that,
and be configured to only try on mail with attachments or meeting
certain criteria."
Procmail has *no native MIME support*, and all modern email using
attached or inline images does so with MIME.
I know some people who use "MIME Defang" run from Procmail. A solution
like that may work for you.
I personally don't delete or strip attachments automatically, but do
have macros in my email program to help me do that at read time (if I
don't want to just outright delete the whole message).
As for your mailling list question: I don't know, so I didn't answer. I
used to be on the procmail list, but that was at least a decade ago.
