by :)

Set it to ban password-protected zip files, but set the Maximum
Archive
Depth to 0 so it doesn't do filename checking inside Zip files. I
quote
from MailScanner.conf:

# A common useful setting is this option = 0, and Allow
Password-Protected
# Archives = no. That block password-protected archives but does not
do
# any filename/filetype checks on the files within the archive.
Maximum Archive Depth = 0
