Hello Jules,
I must be doing something wrong.
The results of a file -i are
file -i font10.odttf
font10.odttf: application/octet-stream
So, I placed the following line in both the archives.filetype.rules.conf and filetype.rules.conf above the line
deny executable No executables No programs allowed
allow - application/octet-stream - -
All spaces are tabs. I restarted MailScanner and the message is still blocked.

Thank you,
Brett
