filename.rules.conf

[Maarten]

The custom filenamerules don't work under my install. I have an older 
system running mailscanner-4.81.4-1 with the same filename rules and 
when the mails go through that
system the files do get blocked. So Since the default blocks  work on my 
new system with mailscanner-4.85.2-3.noarch and the custom ones  don't. 
I'm probably missing something?
