I do not think that the server applies a test to the extension but rather that the mail clients are causing the problem by labeling them something else.

My mail client labeled that attachment as:
------

--Apple-Mail-83-489973374
Content-Disposition: attachment;
	filename=junk.dat
Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
	name="junk.dat"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
---------

... and the server stripped it, since it was expecting something like this:

--Apple-Mail-83-489973374
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Content-Type: text/plain;
	charset=us-ascii

And I am here attaching a file I expect to remain attached:
