filename extension (exe)?

[Matthew Bowman]

Possibly due to people e-mailling legitimate self extracting archive files?

Is there a reason why .exe extension filenames are not denied?  I notice
the
filenames file denies .bat, .cmd, .scr, etc... but not .exe.  Is there a
particular reason for this?  Thanks.
