Hi Paul

You can setup Filename Rulesets per domains. Here is an example from my
setup

In MailScanner.conf

Filename rules = /etc/MailScanner/rules/filename.rules.rules

In filename.rules.rules

FromOrTo: domain.tld            /etc/MailScanner/rules/domain.tld.rules

In /etc/MailScanner/rules/domain.tld.rules

allow \.com$ (effectively replace deny with allow)

Save then reload MailScanner

HTH

Hi all,

Can anyone advise, whether this is this possible?

We have a user that as part of their company name
includes .com

They understandably are getting a fair amount of Microsoft office
documents quarantined by Mailscanner as the senders of the documents
and images are saving them as e.g. customersname.com.doc or
customersname.com.ppt etc...

Is there any way that we can specify in filename rules the actual
filename to be accepted. We appreciate accepting all .com.xxx's would
be dangerous but is there someway we could allow customername.com.xxx

Many thanks in advance
