It appears that my filter bounced an email with a .doc extension. I
have not instructed the filter to block this extension. Please explain
why the filter bounced this, and what changes I can make to the filter
to allow this in the future.
Here is the message from the maillog file:

I thought that the the filter did not like the naming convention, so I
make a word document and called it:
T. Rowe Price letter.doc
I was able to send it to myself without any issues.
