The question is what it wasn't blocking before.

The ".asc" is a result from a file(1) utility,
which is normal for plain ascii text.

Yes, that would make it alright. The second rule should be
blocking practically everything except null body mail.

Maybe BLOCKALL wasn't being invoked at all, perhaps due to
the policy bank MYNETS not being loaded.
