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.

>From what I saw in the archives, the format looks correct, but obviously it is not.  Any suggestions please?

Thank you,
Brett
