Make a copy of your filename.rules.conf and filetype.rules.conf files
and modify them to allow exe files. Then you make two rulesets which
points your "special" users to the modified files and the default to the
normal files. Edit MailScanner.conf to point at the rulesets instead of
at the normal files directly. It's easy with the flexibility of
rulesets. Read EXAMPLES and README in the rules directory for more help.
