We run a commercial filtering service and we unconditionally block exe (and scr, etc.) files whether directly attached or in an archive. We don't give our customers any say in the matter, though we do of course inform them of the policy up front. So far, no major complaints. The few who really need to send such files rename them to .ex_ before zipping them up. We have a fairly large userbase (more than 140,000) so I think we would have heard lots of complaints by now if people really couldn't live with the policy. Regards, David.
