winmail.dat inspection for Sophos or McAfee

[Denis Beauchemin]

Hi,

We block all potentially dangerous file types such as ".exe", ".pif",
".bat", ... but we couldn't enforce this rule in winmail.dat files
because McAfee (and Sophos) knows about these files and can scan them.

Well, if you tell MailScanner to "Expand TNEF = yes" you get this
feature back.  Thus people using Outlook's "rich text" feature won't be
able to slip through the cracks of your filename.rules.conf if you want
to block any file types.

Thought I'd share this goodie with everyone.
