Content filtering does not strip based on filename extension. It strips
based on mime content type. Just because a file is named *.doc doesn't
mean a sender's MUA gives it a content type of application/msword when
attaching it to a mail message.

Also, see Brad's suggestion in another reply that you might be
scrubbing attachments from regular deliveries.

Why not just copy and paste the contents of the filter_mime_types and
pass_mime_types boxes into a text post?
