[Mimedefang] Correct order

[Todd Aiken]

I'm doing the following using MIMEDefang:

- Use filter_relay to bypass outgoing mail
- Greylisting
- Virus scanning (with uvscan)
- Rejecting on bad filename extensions
- Checking for SPAM with SpamAssassin
 
I had to place greylist checking in filter_end because it seemed to be 
running before filter_relay and was greylisting all of my external mail.  
But I thought to save some processing power, I would move virus scanning 
to filter_end as well so that only if a mail passed the greylist would it 
be scanned for viruses.  However, by doing that, I now find that my 
quarantine directory is filling up fast, because stuff is being moved 
there being detected as having a bad filename before it is being scanned 
(and rejected) for viruses.  Can somebody suggest a way that I can move 
stuff around so that all of the above list is processed in the listed 
order?  If it is somehow possible to do the filter_relay checking in 
filter_begin before everything starts, I could then place greylist 
checking back in filter_begin and that would probably solve my problem.

My mimedefang-filter can for now be found at:

Thanks.
