Copy filename.rules.conf to filename.special.rules.conf.
Edit filename.special.rules.conf and add a rule to the top of it along the
lines of
allow   \.exe$  -       -
(separate those 4 sections with tab characters, not spaces).

Then construct a ruleset in /etc/MailScanner/rules/filename.rules that
looks like this:
From:   awkward at bugger.com      /etc/MailScanner/filename.special.rules.conf
FromOrTo:       default         /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

Edit /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf so it uses it
Filename Rules = /etc/MailScanner/rules/filename.rules

Then reload or restart MailScanner.
