Your recipe uses a regexp map, not a pcre one, it's very slow
(especially on OpenBSD), and incomplete. Here's a better one:
(1) Make sure you have Postfix 2.0.x, compiled with support for PCRE.
Run this to find out:
(4) Add more extensions you feel you should block;
(5) Run:
postfix reload
Change REJECT above to DISCARD at attack peak times, to save other
machines the trouble of bouncing your rejects. Of course, collateral
damages of the discards are to be expected too.

Your recipe uses a regexp map, not a pcre one, it's very slow
(especially on OpenBSD), and incomplete. Here's a better one:
(1) Make sure you have Postfix 2.0.x, compiled with support for PCRE.
Run this to find out:
postconf -d mail_version
postconf -m | grep pcre
(2) Add this to main.cf:
mime_header_checks = pcre:/etc/postfix/mime_header_checks.pcre
(3) Put this in /etc/postfix/mime_header_checks.pcre (the last pattern
is supposed to catch CLSID extensions):
/^Content-(?:Disposition:\s+attachment;|Type:).*\b(?:file)?name\s*=.*\.(
