  <DIV><BR></DIV>Hi!<BR><BR>Does anyone know if it is possible to configure 
  MailScanner to allow .exe<BR>files compressed in .zip files?<BR>By default, 
  MailScanner denies .exe attachments, but some people here need<BR>to send and 
  receive this type of attachment and then, they would like to<BR>send/receive 
  .exe files compressing them in .zip files.<BR>I have already tried to 
  configure this option changing the following line in<BR>the 
  filetype.rules.conf:<BR><BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; allow&nbsp;&nbsp; 
  executable&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No 
  executables&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; No programs 
  allowed<BR><BR>Instead of using "deny", I changed to 
  "allow".<BR><BR><BR>Thanks for any help.<BR><BR><BR><BR>Renata D.
