Since pcre evaluates in order you could add
/^Content-(Disposition|Type).*;??x-apple-part-url="[^"]+"$/x DUNNO
before the pcre that does the rejection.
Since "." is commonly "%2E" you could also change the "\." in the RE to
"(\.|%2E)".
That doesn't solve base64 encoding.
Disclaimer: I haven't tried this.

It's very odd ... Apple has been responsible for the foundation of quite a few
RFC's but in our experience has actually made it difficult for our software to
both comply with the RFC as well as Apple's client software.
Thank you Cedric.

The documentation for header_checks includes an example to "block
attachments with bad file name extensions", and I expect many
installations have a similar rule to cut down on malware. This reads:
/^Content-(Disposition|Type).*name\s*=\s*"?(.*(\.|=2E)(
ade|adp|asp|bas|bat|chm|cmd|com|cpl|crt|dll|exe|
hlp|ht[at]|
inf|ins|isp|jse?|lnk|md[betw]|ms[cipt]|nws|
\{[[:xdigit:]]{8}(?:-[[:xdigit:]]{4}){3}-[[:xdigit:]]{12}\}|
ops|pcd|pif|prf|reg|sc[frt]|sh[bsm]|swf|
vb[esx]?|vxd|ws[cfh]))(\?=)?"?\s*(;|$)/x
REJECT Attachment name "$2" may not end with ".$4"
Unfortunately, this can now block valid email from iPhone/iOS/ithing
users. The second ".*" can span multiple parameters. This shows up in
logs when searching for "x-apple-part-url" as follows:
postfix/cleanup[1234]: 123412341234: reject: header Content-Type:
application/vnd.ms-publisher;??name="redacted
redacted.pub";??x-apple-part-url="abcd1234-1234-5678-9999-123412341...@yahoo.com"
What Apple has done seems legal under RFC 2045 but may make some of
their users' email undeliverable.
Rules can be amended to limit to "token" or "quoted-string" versions of
the filename like this:
/^Content-(Disposition|Type).*name\s*=\s*
("(?:[^"]|\\")*|[^();:,\/<>\@\"?=<>\[\]\ ]*)
((?:\.|=2E)(
ade|adp|asp|bas|bat|chm|cmd|com|cpl|crt|dll|exe|
hlp|ht[at]|
inf|ins|isp|jse?|lnk|md[betw]|ms[cipt]|nws|
\{[[:xdigit:]]{8}(?:-[[:xdigit:]]{4}){3}-[[:xdigit:]]{12}\}|
ops|pcd|pif|prf|reg|sc[frt]|sh[bsm]|swf|
vb[esx]?|vxd|ws[cfh])(\?=)?"?)\s*(;|$)/x
REJECT Attachment name $2$3 may not end with ".$4"
A separate security point is that this doesn't actually block "bad"
extensions if the Content-Type name is base64 encoded and the filename
parameter in the Content-Disposition is percent-encoded.
Hope this is useful to some.
