  Makes sense..  I wasn't really sure when those two subs were called,
so that helps to clarify, as well with the question of putting Spam
Assassin into the filter_begin. I'm assuming that I can also put
other file attachment name filtering functions into the filter_begin
as well - we severely restrict the types of file attaches that are
allowed in and out of our office and refuse messages containing
certain prohibited types.

MIMEDefang does not currently support multiline replies (it's on the
TODO list.)  There's also no guarantee end-users will see the text;
some MTAs eat it.

  I guess I'm just curious how some companies do a more robust
reply in a bounce message. It's not really important, only that I'd
like to be able to provide a URL for assistance in false-positives.
But as I said it's not really important.

So, I figured I could use the action_notify_sender() to do this,
Don't do that.  You'll be blacklisted for generating backscatter
within hours.

  Crud, I hadn't thought of that.  :(  Thanks for the warning.

  Thanks a bunch for the advice, input, and suggestions!
