It's a python class provided by courier-pythonfilter.  There's some 
documentation in the README.hacking file.

I believe so, but I've been a lot less careful about compatibility with 
versions older than I have available for testing than I used to be.  I 
no longer support any systems which aren't running python 2.4 or newer. 
  If something doesn't work for you, please let me know.

Holy cow, that's old!

There's at least a DOS attack possible against that version:

You should upgrade ASAP.

That's an implementation detail, and it's mostly invisible to you.  On 
older Courier releases, it wasn't safe to write to the data file, so 
XFilter would inject the modified message and mark all of the original 
recipients complete.  Now that Courier allows it, XFilter will simply 
overwrite the data file.
