According to the reject message, it is the "g_block_files"
command which isn't allowing the mp3 attachment. Under "Attachment
renaming options", which is within the "Spam Control" settings, you can control
this behavior.
The first "edit Rules" button brings you to a list
of attachment types to block. If you want to always allow mp3 files,
remove that from this list and save.
If you want only to bypass
the rule for this particular sender, click the second "Edit Rules" button and
enter the email address there of the sender.
After making this set of
changes, make sure you either do a "tellmail reload" from the command prompt to
activate the changes you made. Restarting the server would have the same
effect.

Lyle,
I was not precise. The reject message came from the
person trying to send to our server. I have checked g_block_files and MP3 are
not lited. I listed the sending and rec. domains in: From or To address to bypass g_block_files.
Some people can send mp3 s to our client, and others
are blocked as the message indicates.

Any help in this matter would be much
appreciated.

1) Based on
the edited log message, I am not clear if your server is rejecting the message
or the far end. If the far end is rejecting it, then you can not
directly fix it.
2) I usually put the file inside a zip archive(I don't
use MAC so...) and try sending that.
g_block_files is for setting the
extension to block. You would not list any domains in their and make
sure .mp3 is NOT listed in g_block_files.
