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

	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,

	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.
