We are currently refusing all mail with zip files.  Amazingly
few complaints, from a 50,000-user community.  We don't know yet
what the long-term plan will be.  That stops bagle.

To stop most variants of netsky, refuse mail with pif files.  We
did that many months ago.  No complaints at all.  Do it.

By refuse, I mean action_bounce().
