I heartily concur with Elton. I originally purchased Post.Office 3.5 back in
September of 2003, but I didn't get around to installing it until recently.
I was almost done with installation on the 16th of this month when I heard
about the 3.6 upgrade with ClamAV. Now, coupled with the spam filtering
capabilities of the SpamAssassin plug-in and the virus checking capabilities
of the ClamAV plug-in, Post.Office is catching almost all of the junk that
previously had to be filtered on the client side. I forward what they catch
to spamassassin@xxxxxxxxxx and clamav@xxxxxxxxxx on the Apple OSX mail
client that sits on the Post.Office server, and it's interesting to see how
much they catch. I can also use what they catch to teach SpamAssassin's
Bayesian filter. Personally, I've set up the filters in this order:
blackhole lists, SpamAssassin, ClamAV. I only want SpamAssassin to deal with
what isn't kicked out by the blackhole lists, and ClamAV is the last line of
defense against unwanted email.

Sincerely,

Charles Lai

They did -- upgrade to version 3.6 and use the new ClamAv plugin.

I had a similar body_text filter that trapped the .extension body_text 
you outline (and a few others); while I did not have much of a false 
positive problem, I replaced this filter with ClamAv -- no false 
positives and it filters the same .extension files.
