Hi Erik, What you need to do is check out the filename.rules file 
the line you are looking for is this one, 
deny    \.ma[dfgmqrstvw]$       Possible Microsoft Access Shortcut attack                               Microsoft Access Shortcuts are dangerous in email

you can change that deny to allow or take the "t" out of the \.ma[dfgmaqrstvw] string,
