Selectively allow .exe attachments

[Julian Field]

Rulesets pointing to filename.rules.conf file have recently been discussed
here. Please search the mailing list archive.

Basically,
         Filename Rules = /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules
And in there put
To: user at domain.com     /etc/MailScanner/allow.exe.conf
/etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf
FromOrTo: default /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

In allow.exe.conf put
allow   \.exe$  -       -
(separate the fields with tab characters)
