If you want to use the extension from the file name, set

SCRUBBER_USE_ATTACHMENT_FILENAME_EXTENSION = True

in mm_cfg.py. You may also be interested in the
SCRUBBER_DONT_USE_ATTACHMENT_FILENAME setting. See the comments about
both these in Defaults.py.

If you have set the list's scrub_nondigest setting to Yes and you want
the message scrubbed before checking for too big (and other
miscellaneous holds), see the post at
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2008-December/064541.html>
except the handler you want to move in the pipeline is 'Scrubber'
instead of (or in addition to) 'MimeDel'.
