The only you forgot is that you need to put the full path to the 
allowed-script-senders.txt file. Also I have thought to try using 2 
pattern-list files in the same rule, I'm not entirely sure what it will do.

Is there a way you just use 1 pattern-list file in the rule?

But otherwise you've got the syntax right, yes.

Only filename.rules.conf and filetype.rules.conf files need to be 
tab-separated.
