[Mimedefang] allowing specific filenames?

In mimedefang-filter, add the following subroutine:
sub Exclude_FromGoodHost() {
if ($RelayAddr eq "good.ip.address.here") {
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
Substitute the real IP address of the sending system, in the above function.
Then, modify sub filter_bad_filename to call the above subroutine, exiting
with a 0 return code and bypassing the bad_ext test, if the message is
coming from the IP address of the known-good host.
Of course, if there is potentially other traffic from that host which you
still want to check, read through yesterday's discussion of blocking
filenames, and combine that with this technique.

Subject: [Mimedefang] allowing specific filenames?
(please forgive if you get this twice, been screwing around with my
sendmail configs and had an old one in place that wasn't doing masq)
I've only recently installed mimedefang and spamassassin, so i'm not
completely up to speed yet on all the options/configs. i'm still digging
through other people's posted scripts/filters so that i better understand
the framework and functions.
I have a few customers (of my isp) that need to receive specific files
that can't be zipped on a regular basis (they are output from mortgage
systems and mailed without human intervention). I know the files will be
in one of 2 file names/extensions.
my question... has any tired (or have a snippet) of an allowed file name?
i've seen several examples of the use of bad_file_name (or similar... mind
is fuzzy right now) and will be attempting to re-code this for my uses,
but thought i would ask if anyone already had something like this in
production.
Thanks for any responses.
