Hmm, double checked the filename.rules.conf and filetype.rules.conf and 
they looked fine (yes, tabs not spaces).

Just on a whim I changed the MailScanner.conf to
Filename Rules = %rules-dir%/user.filename.rules
#Filename Rules = %etc-dir%/filename.rules.conf

Then created %rules-dir%/user.filename.rules as
# Default, disallow for all others
To:     default         /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/filename.deny.rules.conf
From:   default         /usr/local/etc/MailScanner/filename.deny.rules.conf

And filename.deny.rules.conf is a copy of a fresh filename.rules.conf 
from the install source.

Still test.svx.doc gets through as does test.scr. mailscanner --lint 
still shows no issues.

I tried to run in debug mode but I got no unusual output. So I stopped 
MailScanner and called with the debug switch with no change. Is there a 
way to run in debug and output to the terminal?

Three years now I've asked Google why they don't have a
logo change for Memorial Day. Why do they choose to do logos
for other non-international holidays, but nothing for
Veterans?

Maybe they forgot who made that choice possible.
