Filename rule question

Hi All,
I try to deny some email attachments based just on the filename.
So I setup the following test rule to deny all attachment for email
sended to me at pluto.com (obviously just a real address)
- in /etc/MailScanner/Mailscanner.conf
-- Filename Rules = %rules-dir%/filename-rules.rules
- in /etc/MailScanner/rules/filename-rules.rules
-- To: me at pluto.com /etc/MailScanner/filename-alldeny.conf
-- FromOrTo: default
/etc/MailScanner/filename-nocheck.rules.conf
- in /etc/MailScanner/filename-alldeny.conf
-- deny .* - -
- in /etc/MailScanner/filename-nocheck.rules.conf
-- allow .* - -
So I expect that any attachment will be denied, but is not true.
It seems that everything is passing through, and the rule is not
matching anything.
I've done MailScanner --lint and no syntax error appear.
I've also tried the standard rules enclosed (deny .exe .reg,...), but
didn't work.
Question, for the filename rule to work, should I always setup also the
filetype rule ?
Any other ideas ?
Where I'm wrong ?
Thank you and best regards
Marco Induni
