Attachment filter

[Mariano Absatz]

Hi Antonio,

I don't think you'll be able to... for one thing, MailScanner is written in 
Perl, not C, but that's not the major problem.

MailScanner is designed, from the ground up, to pick messages from a queue, 
process them, and leave them in another queue, and NOT to process messages 
'on the fly'.

This is a major design concept and you'd find yourself completely rewriting 
MailScanner in order to do that.

FWIW, if you'd like to learn Perl and DIY, MailScanner uses MIME::Tools 
(http://search.cpan.org/~eryq/MIME-tools-5.411a) for most of its attachment 
handling... although Julian provides a security patched version you might 
like to use.

Regards.
