Filename scanning preference order

[Julian Rawcliffe]

I am having a number of users complain about attachments being
quarantined (and confusing this with virus infection) because
of double extension filenames, eg. file.tmp.pdf. There is
no reason to block these files.

Can I get away with specifying a filename rule to allow any
.pdf file whilst still keeping the generic mulitple extension
deny rule in place. Would something like,
allow   \.pdf$
be suficient or do the deny rules take precedence over allows?
