You need to create a rule sets that uses different filename/filetype
configuration files for mail from different domains for attachment filename
and filetype checking. If you have a Red Hat, CentOS or SuSE system, the
following paths will be correct. They will vary on other systems but the
same principals will work.

First create two files:

/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.xyz.conf
/etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.xyz.conf

Copy these existing files to create the new files:

cp /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf \
        /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.xyz.conf

cp /etc/MailScanner/filenatype.rules.conf \
        /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.xyz.conf

Then edit both the new files to allow or deny the files for xyz.domain

Then create the file /etc/MailScanner/rules/filename.rules. The contents of
this file should be:

# Allow certain filenames from xyz.com
From:    /\*@xyz\.com/      /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.xyz.conf
# Default entry
FromOrTo:       default         /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

Then create the file /etc/MailScanner/rules/filetype.rules. The contents of
this file should be:

# Allow certain filetypes from xyz.com
From:    /\*@xyz\.com/      /etc/MailScanner/filetype.rules.xyz.conf
# Default entry
FromOrTo:       default         /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

Then edit /etc/MailScanner.conf to call the new rulesets. Change the setting
for Filename Rules to be:

Filename Rules = %rules-dir%/filename.rules

And change the setting for Filetype Rules to be:

Filetype Rules = %rules-dir%/filetype.rules

Then reload MailScanner. 

I hope this helps,
