Hi Yasin,
AFAIK the are no pre-built options on SBMF to detect specific types of attachments. Also for that purpose and for security reasons, I'd use a product able to do True File Type detection (like SBG) so files are not detected based on the file name extension but on their characteristics (otherwise you can i.e by-pass filters to detect executables just by changing .exe. to .txt).
HTH,
Federico
