In fact, the problem is with $filename itself in Mailscanner. If the variable
contains something as "WSComparison_#.DOC" or "WHform for summer 2008.doc", no
way to passe this in an URL. 

I've on my side this kind of command.

http://quarantine.tld/download.php?hostname=godalnet&date=20070317&id=1HSb00-0002U3-7R&filename=WSComparison_#.DOC

We need a key or a simple urlencode version of $filename. An $URLfilename will
be great. Or may be another solution that I haven't discovered.
