And then you get the overly-zealous server-based scanners that
reject anything with even a whiff of taintedness:

From: <guilty_email_address at hidden.to.avoid.embarrassment>
To: <mimedefang at lists.roaringpenguin.com>
Subject: Disallowed Attachment found: Type is EXE.

A Disallowed attachment was found in an Email you should have received.

The Disallowed attachment type was reported to be: EXE

[...]

The original message is keept in:
    /var/spool/qmailscan/arc/pop05051821221116444147

Thank you, Qmail Scanner, for your unmatched vigilance
in protecting poor users from text/plain e-mails.
And for sending your error message to the list instead
of the list-bounce or list-admin address.  Software like
you makes the world a better place.
