binkd doesn't care about the files' extensions, really... if i send 
"my_land.map" to you, binkd will trigger a mail toss because the .map extension 
matches the allowed .ma? so what i'm saying is that you won't find my_land.map 
in your inbound because your tosser would have renamed it to my_land.bad... to 
further clarify, the long string regexes that some use are too relaxed... they 
need to be more strict...

don't be so FTN centric when thinking about these things... i've had more than 
one set of files mangled in exactly this manner and that was long before binkd 
was even a gleam in its creator's eye... the mangling i experianced was due to 
some files being named the same except for the extension... when the tosser 
renamed the second one to .bad, it overwrote the first one... it took a week or 
two to figure out what was happening with that file set and why... t'was a 
little on the expensive side of the POTS bill, too...
