Email filtering by attachments

[Julian Field]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

This is all written and working and will be in the next release.
Instead of allow/deny/deny+delete at the start of the line in 
filename.rules.conf or filetype.rules conf files, you can now specify a 
space- or comma-separated list of email addresses. If the rule matches, 
the message's entire original list of recipients will be replaced with 
the addresses named here.

I plan to do a new beta release very soon, there's quite a lot to go in it.
