Thanks for the explanation and a good product :-)
Perhaps a clear warning in an example mimedefang-filter about the
current semantics would be desirable to make people aware about
it.
The major issue is to inform users about a current filter
policy not whether the particular file was quarantined.
For example our policy is to quarantine all files with extensions
considered by Microsoft as dangerous ("Outlook E-mail Security Update")
+ some additions (clearly listed).
The semantics of filter without "$" goes beyond this, so I was caught
by missing "$" - my fault.
