Opting a user/domain out of attachment checking

[Andy Norris]

Thanks Julian for your quick response.

Maximum Archive Depth = 2
Filetype Rules = %etc-dir%/filetype.rules.conf

%etc-dir% = /etc/MailScanner (that directory and file exist there).

I've just commented out, for the time-being, the lines denying .exe 
and .chm files. But I don't want to do that server-wide. Just for the 
domain calian.us.

Thanks again,
Andy
