It it not automated like on win32 and you cannot hide the extension of the attachment, which is one of the major reasons for the problem. Another words the only this could happen if a hostile user (easily traceable) would attempt (you'd need pretty dumb users to fall for such a trick) to do this you can take appropriate actions against them. Plus the checking of attachments is really the job of the virus scanner on the user's own computer and if you do think your forum is in danger of being used to post viruses simply disable attachment capabilities.
