I have had a problem with Mailman stripping out MS Word documents, and have partially solved it by adding "application/msword" to the pass mime types section. However, Mailman still strips out documents created in Office 2007 and later, with the .docx extension.
Any ideas how I can allow these please?
My pass mime types are:
multipart
text
text/html
text/plain
image
application/pdf
application/msword
My filter filename extensions are :
exe
bat
cmd
com
pif
scr
vbs
cpl
Collapse alternatives and convert html to plain text are both set to yes.
Many thanks,
Roger Richmond

The general approach is to look at the original mail containing the documents in a text editor (or Gmail's "Show Original") and search for the Content-Type headers. They'll look something like this:
Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document; name="some junk from the boss"
Most likely that's the one you want most. Add
application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document
to Pass Mime Types and you'll probably get most of them. However, not all mail programs conform to the registered types. There may be others you want to catch, but you'll have to investigate them yourself I suspect.
