You mean those two lines are in a file something like
/etc/MailScanner/rules/deny.filename.rules pointed to by Deny Filenames
in your config and files with those extensions are blocked even if the
message is from the xxx address?


If so, I looked at the code, and a rule like

From:    user at example.com

should work to provide a null value for the rule when the message is
from user at example.com, but what if you try something like

From: user at example.com  \.bogus_ext$

Or what about putting

From: user at example.com ^.*$

in a ruleset for Allow Filenames

Or do you already have something in Allow Filenames that might override
the Deny Filenames setting (I'm not sure about the interaction between
these).
