MapServer does use the supplied geometry, it's a matter of where the filter is applied - the database or in MapServer. This isn't a new limitation so others may have more experience with workarounds. Maybe try also setting a bbox in the filter based on the bbox of the geometry?

If mapserver doesn't use the supplied geometry, that means that it doesn't support spatial filtering. Our data covers the whole country, not using the supplied geometry means we can't use mapserver as a wfs server.... Is there something we can do about it? A workaround we could use?

Most of those optimizations address the most common use cases - I guess this wasn't one of them. It's surprising that at worst the extent of the supplied geometry isn't passed (I see a comment in the WFS code about this). The specific filter intersection test is applied on the MapServer side - the results are correct, performance can suffer though. This is being addresses in MapServer 7.0 where more complete filter translation functions are being supported (RFC 91).

I'm using mapserver 6.4.1 and postgis 2.1 using OpenLayers 2.13.1 I draw a small polygon that I use for a within spatial filter of a WFS getfeature request. The problem is that mapserver is not sending this polygon to postgis, it is sending the extent of the mapfile as filter...
