I am trying to come up with a good "starter" filter_mime_types list. I went through my /etc/mime.types and picked-out all of the top level identifiers that I knew for sure that I didn't want... At least I think I'm sure...
Anyway, here's my list:
image application audio model video
Have I made any blunders choosing these?
If you want to allow pgp signed messages, you will lose the signature which is application/pgp-signature
I think people tend to use the pass_mime_types rather than filter_mime_types. A reasonable list for pass_mime_types for allowing plain text and pgp signatures only is
multipart/mixed multipart/alternative multipart/signed application/pgp-signature message/rfc822 text/plain

If you want, you can add text/html to this list, but see for example http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2005-January/041763.html for some discussion of the implications.
