it's really more the MailScanner specific filename/type and form/script
checks that I worry about.  The 'secret' password would be unique enough
to not be guessed and changed periodically.   We often have the need to
send through legitimate scripts/forms/exe's etc.  We currently
successfully use this practice via Procmail and would love to extend it
to MailScanner, but it seems the ruleset options are a limited to
To/From tests, vs regular expressions against Subject or Body.   Is that
correct?   can I test Subject somehow via MailScanner?
Thanks!
