Blocking emails with dangerous attachments

The exe gets removed and then the rest of the message is delivered with an attachment warning report. This is annoying my end users as they're not interested in the email in any way.

However I also have emails from other legitimate mailing lists that have URLs in them which get 'disarmed' and I _do_ want to deliver these message. So I don't think I can change this to 'no', I think I need a more fine grained approach.

Aren't they getting caught as viruses? THen they would fall under the "still
deliver silent viruses" area.
