Add a new line to filename.rules.conf (somewhere near the top) that says
this:
allow   \.xml\.rel$   -   -
Make sure the 4 "words" are separated with tab characters and not
spaces. This (along with its partner filetype.rules.conf) is the only
place where tab characters must be used, as the regular expression
matching the filename, and the reports (which are just "-" for an
"allow" rule) could also contain spaces.
