Rename the file e. g. "export.mte.txt" and it should be allowed to upload the file.

This does not make a difference.
How can I contact the administrator for this forum to fix this?

Both simple cases work, see yourself:

But uploading a mte or txt file containing such wpl XML code is forbidden.

Use _code_ or _codebox_ tags around your export code.

Put it in a zip archive.
