Disbale check for Attempt to hide real filename extension

[Alex Neuman]

Did you read mailscanner.conf?
Did you read the bottom of filename.rules.conf?

Just in case, whenever I need to find one of the rules, I can always run
something like:

grep -ir "attempt to hide the real" *

while in the /etc/Mailscanner folder to see which file has those words. That
would point me to filename.rules.conf, which has the "deny double extension"
rule which you can disable using # or just delete altogether.

You should really read all the configuration files and understand the
options. We'll be glad to hear you out if you think the documentation could
be explained in better ways, but you have to read it first.

Also, buy the book. It helps support Julian and most of the answers are
there for when you're "offline".

Have a great day!
