It'd be easier to parse if all the options were together:

[handling][modifier(s)] [filespec]

Handling:

A - allow
  L - log
  N - notify
M - mangle
  L - log
  N - notify
S - strip
  Q - quarantine (default discard)
  L - log
  N - notify
P - poison (default notify)
  L - log


Leading to a policy file syntax that looks like:

AL *.jpg
ML *.doc
SQN *.double.extension
S *.cvf

And some new configuration variables:

SECURITY_ATTACHMENT_LOG	(a filename)
SECURITY_ATTACHMENT_QUARANTINE (a directory)


Bjarni, do you have something along these lines for Anomy?
