A long gap in a name is often used to hide part of it {Scanne d by HJMS}

[Furnish, Trever G]

See filename.rules.conf.  Mine has a line like so:

deny    .{150,}                 Very long filename, possible OE attack
Very long filenames are good signs of attacks against Microsoft e-mail
packages

May be different in whatever version you have installed, but if not, then
the limit is 149 characters total - 150 characters will match that rule.
