gif attachments

[Randal, Phil]

FuzzyOCR can be configured to only run against emails which have an SA
score (so far) less than a given number.

In FuzzyOcr.cf:

# This is used to disable the OCR engine if the message has already more
points than this value
#focr_autodisable_score 50

I set it to our high-spam threshold so it only scans images in emails
which would otherwise be delivered to our users.

I find that all my SA rules, ImageInfo, and Bayes get most of these
spams anyhow.

Cheers,

Phil
