I guess I was mistaken that using the mime-type was more reliable than 
using a file extension since the file extension can be easily modified 
also? So, if I were to ban .rar files, and someone send me a rar file 
called "archive.rar" but they renamed it to "archive" it will still be 
blocked by Amavis?
