Nearly. You must still put the other 2 bits of the line in, even if they
aren't used in allow rules. So you need
allow   \.ast[0-9]\.xml$        -       -
Or even just
allow   \.ast\d\.xml$   -       -
They 4 bits of each line must be tab-separated in this file, as there's no
way for MailScanner to be able to deduce where log text starts and ends.

>allow \.ast?.xml$

No.

The allow/deny rules in filename.rules.conf and filetype.rules.conf are
regular expressions.
In all other "real rules files", ? and * work how you expect them to,
unless you put "/" characters round the expression at which point it is
treated as a regular expression.
