We used the mimedefang-filter.example as the base for our initial filter.
We made sure to keep the changes/adds simple and easy to spot -- clear
comments with our company name in them, only commenting out items
rather than removing them, etc.

This makes it very easy to spot differences between our filter and any
updated version of mimedefang-filter.example.  Using sdiff -o, we can
easily merge the new filter with ours, staying current with all of the
tweaks that David and contributors make.

What's everyone else doing with reference to the example filter?
