Confusion with Allow Filenames

[Martin Hepworth]

Max

Have a look here

http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:ruleset
s:overloading

For an example of this..


Basically you need to provide an override filename in the rule, not the
actual filenames/type you want to override.
