Rules for filenames / file types

[Pravin Rane]

In MailScanner.conf use following
Filename Rules = %etc-dir%/filename.rules



In %etc-dir%/filename.rules use following
FromOrTo: <tab>*@domain1.tld <tab>
%rules-dir%/domain1.tld.filename.rules.conf
FromOrTo: <tab>*@domain2.tld <tab>
%rules-dir%/domain2.tld.filename.rules.conf
FromOrTo: <tab> default <tab> %etc-dir%/filename.rules.conf # Default
filename ruleset


In %rules-dir%/domain1.tld.filename.rules.conf  use following
deny <tab>   \.gif$  <tab> <tab> Blocked as per policy
# and other extensions you want to deny/allow

In %rules-dir%/domain2.tld.filename.rules.conf  use following
allow <tab>   \.gif$  <tab> <tab> - <tab> -
# and other extensions you want to deny/allow
