It will block files based on the file name. So if you use "BANNAME message.zip", it will ban any attachments that are named "message.zip" (so you don't have to worry about filters such as 'na_me="message.zip"' that will detect the attachment in most formats, but not all, and that could have false positives).

It will behave the same way as if a banned file extension was detected (quarantining the E-mail).
