[Mimedefang] Patch for MIME::Tools

[Marco Berizzi]

Hi everybody. My filter mimedefang filter allow messages with certain
attachment, and bounce the entire message for all the other.
This morning I have applied the MIME-tools patch. After this I have
tried to send a bogus message like this:

From: "Marco Berizzi" <pupilla at hotmail.com>
To: "Berizzi Marco" <XXX at aive.it>
Subject: test scr
Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 09:20:14 +0200
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
 boundary="----=_NextPart_000_00FA_01C1EB71.3D9E7070"
X-Priority: 3
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2600.0000
X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2600.0000

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

------=_NextPart_000_00FA_01C1EB71.3D9E7070
Content-Type: text/plain;
 charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

test scr

------=_NextPart_000_00FA_01C1EB71.3D9E7070
Content-Type: audio/x-wav; name=foo[1].doc
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment;

test message scr
------=_NextPart_000_00FA_01C1EB71.3D9E7070--

and the message was reject. My filter allow *.doc (and other few
attach), and reject all the other, so it seems the mimedefang doesn't
understand that foo[1].doc is a *.doc attach. Is this correct?
