We're getting really hammered by viruses today. I've been blocking
things right and left. I guess it is time to either switch to
spamassassin or add attachment recognition to the current filter.
In the meantime, the postmaster mailbox is being filled with helpful
virus warnings.

I've added better mime checking to the spam filter. This has the
added benefit of blocking text/html mail to individuals. This
was slipping by before.
I now block anything with an attachment that has a .pif filename,
among other filenames.
I'll also add automatic blocking for already-spam-tagged email.
