   Working on my filter programs (Blacklist checking and Virus checking) I 
found that all the programs which are treated by external programs called by 
the PROGRAM.<programname> tag in a Filter are located in the DROPBOX 
directory. 

   The directory DROPBOX is created and deleted on the fly by PMMail. 

   I think, this is the directory where the POP3 client "drops" the messages 
downloaded from the POP3 server, and where they are handed to the filtering 
machine (ICSL) to move them into the folder specified in the filter, or into 
the INBOX.FLD. 

   Messages with large attachments are probably easier to spot in the DROPBOX 
just because they take more time to process by ISCL.
