A quick note which I unfortunately forgot to mention in the original
post to the ClamAV list as well:

Add a second action to the THEN part, namely "Stop Processing".


In fact, when setting up filters you always should take care to add
"Stop Processing" as last action to *any* filter that is meant to be a
final filter. After moving a mail, you most likely do not want any other
(later) filter to match on this mail, too.

Failing this has caused confusion in the past, and always will...

Yup, it is. Good catch, Nicola. :)

If you are going to use an external program, you sure should be familiar
with it, or at least know how to pipe the mail to it.
