Comment that line OR allow it (versus deny)

Then reload MailScanner

Subject: Filename rules


Hi,

We are receiving a few emails with attachments from clients with a filename
such as 'bland.note.doc' the filename rules trap it as an attempt to hide
the real filename extension and I then have to release the file manually so
causing delay as I am never at my desk!

I think it's the rule that reads:
deny    \.[a-z][a-z0-9]{2,3}\s*\.[a-z0-9]{3}$   Found possible filename
hiding
                        Attempt to hide real filename extension

I am not too sure how that search string works - but what would be the
safest way of allowing this type of filename through? (ie. Anything that
ends in a .doc)

Cheers,

Sam
