Remember, amavis-new relies on file(1) to determine the file type.

I've been dropping some e-mails that start with the word HURRY, because
file(1) matches that as a human68k executable.

So... extract your message and run file(1) to see what it thinks...

Yes.  Amavis-new unzips the files and looks at the attachments.

go grab it and look carefully - you will match some magic-header from
file(1).  You can either tweak magic or change the way amavis-new parses
the output from file(1)....
