Thanks for the reminder as I've forgotten to publish it since last June or so when I implemented it. I've just placed it in the filter at http://www.peregrinehw.com/downloads/MIMEDefang/mimedefang-filter-KAM. We use it live but I didn't "test" with that actual filter.

Basic premise is that we define "really bad" file extensions (com|pif|scr|bat) that historically just don't exist in legit emails and we treat those as a virus except we modified filter and filter_multipart to do a bounce rather than a discard.

It's really straightforward but this combined with the Archive::Zip changes made it so that we really never even had to hit a virus scanner for all of the zip/pif/scr viruses over the past year since DFS added the functionality.

Regards,
KAM

the really_bad_filename extrapolation I wrote

I'd be interested in this. Where can I get it?
