<DIV><SPAN class=447434713-16082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know if 
it is possible to configure MailScanner to allow .exe files compressed in .zip 
files?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=447434713-16082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>By default, 
MailScanner denies .exe attachments, but some people here need to send and 
receive this type of attachment and then, they would like to send/receive .exe 
files compressing them in .zip files.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=447434713-16082004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have already tried 
to configure this option changing the following line in the 
filetype.rules.conf:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
