Checking for a string 'filename' separated only by whitespaces from the beginning of the line will fail on many (if not most) attachments.

To help you (or whoever) to verify the operation of the filter. If your Outlook-Users have no clue about headers they wont get confused by them. But they also wont be impressed from the virus-warning in the subject as long as they are able to click at every attachment they find. > /etc/courier/enablefiltering enables the /etc/courier/filters/ stuff, right ? > OK, than I can remove the line and disable it ;-) Thats called 'localfilter' and is just another hook, mainly used for whitlisting but not limited to this or Maildrop. And the perlfilter is another one, but not limited to perl.
