Filename checks blocking docx files

Hi

Just had a situation with someone sending an email with an Office 2007
attachment.

Its in docx format and was caught by the filename checks (Attempt to hide
real filename)

It seems that that docx format is a Zip container for packaging XML and
other data files, within the docx file are files called document.xml.rel and
settings.xml.rel amongst others - these are the files that caused the file
to get blocked.

Ive got a ruleset for Allow Filenames can I just add

FromTo:	*	\.xml\.rel

and that should be enough to allow them?

Kind Regards

Paul
