The difference between a zip archive and a docx file is ... close to
nothing. Sure, in the best of worlds, one could assume the docx to not
contain harmful stuff.... but, as Voltaire alludes to in Candide, this
isn't the best of all worlds, at least not that way:-).
What you need do is look at how to "whitelist" locally submitted mails
for that particular setting, that is: Read up on the Archive depth
setting and then create a ruleset to allow arbitrary depth for
127.0.0.1 (or similar).
