Mail-scanner not able to block exe in zip

[Ryan Braganza]

Dear Users,

I have enabled blocking of exe in zip archives by setting the "Maximum
Archive Depth = 5"

I have a proper exe file wininst-7.1.exe which maybe is some windows setup
exe. When i do a file command for this exe i get the below output

file wininst-7.1.exe
wininst-7.1.exe: PE32 executable for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit

If I zip it and mail it, Mailscanner fails to block it and pass's it
through.

If a create a file with an exe extension

file ryan1.exe
ryan1.exe: ASCII text

Mailscanner is able to block it .....

What could be wrong here ? the version am using is mailscanner-4.84.3-1
