Julian, it doesn't want to do that here. I have:

Allow Filenames = %etc-dir%/allow.filename.conf
Filename Rules = %etc-dir%/filename.rules.conf

with
\.txt$ \.pdf$ \.bmp$
in allow.filename.conf
The file is found and read by MS. I did a service MailScanner reload after 
changing it about four hours ago. But still .bmp files are blocked because 
of this rule
deny    \.bmp$          Windows bitmap file security vulnerability         
         Possible buffer overflow in Windows

It looks like the Deny rule in Filename Rules still is read and takes 
precedence over Allow Filenames.
