I really want to drop these winmail.dat attachments silently - while
sending a message to the sender, but NOT the recipient.

I have tried the below settings But it doesnt work - will my spam
checking rules ahve any effect? as the people we want tpo allow any spam
from are the worst offenders of winmail.dat .

Could anyone offer me any suggestions?

Currently i have added the following to filename.rules.conf

deny    \winmail.dat    Unwanted TNEF   YOU are sending mail from
