I am running the latest MS on a redhat 9 box.

I want to allow all filetypes for certain people and block the rest of
people with the default filtype list.

Here are my config files

filetype.allowall.rules.conf

allow   .       -       -

filetype.rules.conf

allow   text            -                       -
allow   script          -                       -
allow   archive         -                       -
deny    self-extract    No self-extracting archives     No
self-extracting arch
deny    ELF             No executables          No programs allowed
deny    executable      No executables          No programs allowed
deny    MPEG            No MPEG movies          No MPEG movies allowed
deny    AVI             No AVI movies           No AVI movies allowed
deny    MNG             No MNG/PNG movies       No MNG movies allowed
deny    QuickTime       No QuickTime movies     No QuickTime movies
allowed
deny    Registry        No Windows Registry entries     No Windows
Registry fil

Mailscanner.conf

Filetype Rules = %rules-dir%/filetype.rules

filetype.rules

FromOrTo:       someone@*
/etc/MailScanner/filetype.allowall.rules.conf
FromOrTo:       default /etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.conf


With this config it should work if i send to or from someone at any of my
domains to allow all file types and block the rest. BUT it is not
working. Any ideas

Thanx
Christo
