Thanks for the answer. 
Some months ago Julian introduced simpler Allow Filenames = \.txt$ \.pdf$
stuff which can either be used directly in MailScanner or with a ruleset. 
That's what I did now for txt and pdf. I added them like "\.txt$ \.pdf$" 
to the file and may add more. Can I also put them line after line in that 
file?
Additionally I also commented out this double extension rule.

However, how am I supposed to release this stuff if necessary? If I 
release it it's immediately caught again by MS. The whitelist works only 
for spam.
