Keep in mind that you can either have an "allow" list, or a
"reject" list, but you cannot have both. Pick a set of MIME types
that you want to allow (leaving the other field empty), and
everything else will get thrown away. Or, pick a set of MIME types
that you want to disallow (leaving the other field empty), and
everything else will go through. But you can't fill in values in
both fields.

If you choose "Forward to List Owner" instead of "Reject" or
"Discard", then you will get a notice when messages are filtered. Of
course, this means that you'll probably get a copy of just about
every single message sent to the list, which I doubt is something
that you want.

Depends on what they're using. Generally speaking, running the
most recent -RELEASE version is a good idea. New features are added,
bugs are squashed, security holes are closed, etc....
