I assume you don't mean filtering based on MIME Content-Type: since
that is completely doable with the existing content filtering options.
Rather, I guess you mean filtering based on the actual contents of the
message.

To do this, you can create a custom handler module to do the filtering
and add it to the pipeline. It could be added either to the
GLOBAL_PIPELINE or to a list specific pipline attribute.

There are existing patches/handlers to interface for example with
SpamAssassin. See for example
