Actually it would not go there...  It doesn't really matter what line you
put it on, but it needs to be outside of any subroutines.  Anywhere above
"sub filter_bad_filename ($) {" near the top would be fine.

Look in /var/spool/MIMEDefang/qdir-* you'll see the attachments in there
(in the same directory as ENTIRE_MESSAGE).  And you can always use
utilities like uudeview, metamail, etc. to save attachments to a "normal"
form with their suggested filename.

To resend a quarantined message (can someone please add this to the
mimedefang.org faq (because I'll forget to)):

sendmail -oi -Am -f `cat SENDER` `cat RECIPIENTS` < ENTIRE_MESSAGE

Just make sure that copy doesn't get quarantined too.  It definitely won't
if you, for example, tell MD to not scan mail relayed by 127.0.0.1
