Would you take just documentation of this issue as a valid fix? I am
severely inclined to prefer blocking a big class of attacks on windows
platforms in amavisd-new over letting email with weird crap as an attachment
name...

I don't know if fixing the regex to require numbers after the '?' would work
well as a fix (we must not make it fail to match any CLSID attacks).  Brian?

  Yes or to advise use another marks for spam, we are using 
{Spam?}, something else not be problematic.
