File Attachment Rules

[Colin Jack]

Hi Julian,

Still not working ... people complaining it won't allow .ico files
through.

In MailScanner.conf I have:

Allow Filenames = %rules-dir%/filenames.rules

In the /rules directory I have a file called filenames.rules with this
entry

FromOrTo: default \.pdf$ \.zip$ \.jpg$ \.eps$ \.ico$ \.ai$ \.qxd$ \.tif$


I have restarted MailScanner

Any ideas

Thanks

Colin
