Here are those rules in the active filename.rules.conf:

# Allow days of the week and months in doc names, e.g. blah.wed.doc
allow   \.(mon|tue|wed|thu|fri|sat|sun)\.[a-z0-9]{3}$   -       -allow
\.(jan|feb|mar|apr|may|jun|june|jul|july|aug|sep|sept|oct|nov|dec)\.[a-z0-9]{3}$
       -       -

# Deny all other double file extensions. This catches any hidden
filenames.deny    \.[a-z][a-z0-9]{2,3}\s*\.[a-z0-9]{3}$   Found possible
filename hiding                          Attempt to hide real filename
extension

The only changes to that file that have been made are to remove the OE
length checking (the site is Mac-only and that rule interferes with
legitimate mail) and to add an allow for .svn files.
