This is true. Screwing with the queue files (I only read them, I deliver
scanned mail via SMTP to a second postfix instance so there is at least less
chance of really screwing them) is done at your own risk. Meaning: don't
whine at Wietse when it doesn't work ;)

However, content_filter means one exec() per mail. Not feasible when you are
exec:ing Perl IMO. We are planning on using this on a mail-system currently
delivering 1-2 GB of mail every day. Probably 2/3 of these during business
hours.

An alternative would of course be to have MailScanner running as a daemon and
exec:ing a small C client that contacts the daemon... still feels a bit
expensive though.
