Excluding Certain Recipients

[Steve Evans]

Our mail server routes all the mail through the smarthost running
mailscanner.  We block all exe attachments but there are 2 or 3 users
that have a legitimate reason to receive EXE's.  Is there a way so there
mail still is scanned but it doesn't block exe's just for those few
users.

No.
People here have asked for that feature too, and I have flatly refused
to
implement it. What happens if they receive a virus, then forward the
mail
onto 50 other people inside your organisation? Slightly negates the
point
of having a virus scanner, doesn't it?
