The only places you need tabs instead of spaces are in the <br>
example.com.filetype/name.rules.conf and filetype/name.rules.conf files.<br>
You can use any whitespace in *.rules files.<br>

I'm using:<br>
<br>
mailscanner-4.65.3-1.noarch<br>
<br>
I've spent the last 5 hours trouble-shooting this problem (in addition to the 2 hours I spent last night) and I believe MS is broken with this filename/filetype blocking now.<br>
<br>
What I did was globally set the /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf and /etc/MailScanner/filetype.conf to deny (I also did deny+delete) all movie files and tested for the swf extension too.<br>
<br>
Movie files were still let through even when this was a global setting.<br>
<br>
I then tried simply attaching something I knew 100% would fail, a web link (.lnk file), and it passed through fine.<br>
<br>
What sort of thing / setting in MS would allow this to happen? ie. allowing anything through?<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
Michael.<br>
