flow:to_server,established; content:".zip"; fast_pattern:only; content:"Content-Disposition: attachment|3B|"; 
content:"filename="; nocase; pcre:"/filename=[^\n]*?\x2ezip[\x22\x27\s]/si"; file_data; 
content:"|EF BB BF 50 B4|"; depth:5; metadata:policy balanced-ips drop, policy security-ips drop, ruleset community, 
service smtp;

classtype:trojan-activity;)
