Rules for filenames / file types

[Ed Wallig]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply - I'm not using SA in my config (separate anti-spam
system in place) so SARE and DCC are not options (I don't think).

In the filename.rules.conf file, can the "FromOrTo" directives be used?
This would solve the issue if I could simply put the domains that I want
to allow gifs from in here. I don't have any problem w/ blocking .gifs
from the majority of the world, just need a couple of domains to be able
to send them.

Thanks,

 - Ed

I'd look at the SARE rules, URI-RBL's DCC etc for doing this. Works
great for me, without touching all the heavy FuzzyOCR code at all.
