AW: Allowing xls files

[Ehle, Roland]

Hi Mauricio,

Excel files are allowed by default. The only reason I can imagine, why an excel file could be blocked by MailScanner is the filename. Users tend to name their files in strange ways like invoice.2008.08.23.xls which will be blocked by MailScanner due the rule, which blocks filenames with double file extensions (Hint: look for Deny all other double file extensions in your filename.rules.conf)

Files might be blocked too, if you have spaces in the filename.

Regards,
Roland
