Chris,

I think the rules are accepted from top to bottom.  So you could put the 
following line BEFORE the oher one in filename.rules.conf :
allow   \.doc\.rtf$   -   -

You could also use the following MailScanner.conf option:
# Allow any attachment filenames matching any of the patters listed here.
# If this setting is empty, it is ignored and no matches are made.
# This can also be the filename of a ruleset.
Allow Filenames =
