Rob, 
Julian posted a great message about this back at the end of June.  

Martin Hepworth created a wiki page based on that email.  Read it a couple of times.

http://wiki.mailscanner.info/doku.php?id=documentation:configuration:rulesets:overloading

Essentially, it sounds as if you're going to want to ALLOW ".exe" files only between the two specified domains.  So, using the wiki as a reference:


MailScanner.conf:
Filename Rules = %rules-dir%/filename.rules

%rules-dir%/filename.rules:
To: *@domain1.tld  and From: *@domain2.tld  /etc/MailScanner/filename.domain1.tld.conf  /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf

To: *@domain2.tld  and From: *@domain1.tld  /etc/MailScanner/filename.domain2.tld.conf  /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf
FromOrTo: default /etc/MailScanner/filename.rules.conf


/etc/MailScanner/filename.domain1.tld.conf:
allow   \.exe$          Windows/DOS Exe's   Exe's DOS/Windows programs are dangerous in email


/etc/MailScanner/filename.domain2.tld.conf:
allow   \.exe$          Windows/DOS Exe's   Exe's DOS/Windows programs are dangerous in email

Enjoy.
Brad

It is now FromOrTo: and i have restarted mail scanner and it still removes 
.exe files that got through... unless this is another issue?? they need to 
transfer .exe files back and forth, would this be another modification 
rather than just turning off virus scanning for the domain in question?

Sorry if i did not mention this before...
