No sorry, it just gets written as a report in the message. No syslog-ing yet.

To do this properly, I need to re-architect a chunk of MailScanner so that
each attachment file has a proper "parent file". I've never implemented
this properly before, as it wasn't needed. For now the current version you
have will have to do, it's going to take me a little while to have the time
to write it all "properly" as it affects all the TNEF-handling code as well.

As for the separate filename.rules.conf and filetype.rules.conf for inside
archives as well as one for outside archives, I think a lot of less
experienced admins will get confused about this. I would rather solve it in
a way that is rather easier to understand and use, or not solve it at all.
You need to remember that a lot of MailScanner admins are not very
experienced. One of the reasons they chose MailScanner over the competition
was that it was easy to use and get going.
