### Configuration files

This lens applies to MailScanner rules files The format is described below:

# NOTE: Fields are separated by TAB characters --- Important! # # Syntax is allow/deny/deny+delete/rename/rename to replacement-text/email-addresses, # then regular expression, # then log text, # then user report text. # The “email-addresses” can be a space or comma-separated list of email # addresses. If the rule hits, the message will be sent to these address(es) # instead of the original recipients.

# If a rule is a “rename” rule, then the attachment filename will be renamed # according to the “Default Rename Pattern” setting in MailScanner.conf. # If a rule is a “rename” rule and the “to replacement-text” is supplied, then # the text matched by the regular expression in the 2nd field of the line # will be replaced with the “replacement-text” string. # For example, the rule # rename to .ppt \.pps$ Renamed .pps to .ppt Renamed .pps to .ppt # will find all filenames ending in “.pps” and rename them so they end in # “.ppt” instead.
