In which case, how do you recommend legitimate users send, for example, a
.exe file to each other if you block the .exe and also any compressed archive
they might put it into?

My recommendation is to send such things in a password-protected zip, so that
there has to be a deliberate action by the recipient to get access to the
file inside the zip - they can't just open it "by accident".   That won;t
work if you simply block all zips though.

Antony.
