Hi Jennifer,
According to HP, the following should work for messages coming in through the Unix Gateway:
1) edit ~openmail/sys/mime.types
After line
0 application/octet-stream
Add the following line
2188 */* exe
2) edit ~openmail/sys/general.cfg
Change the following line from:
SR_FILTER_TYPES_OF_ATT=TRUE
to:
SR_FILTER_TYPES_OF_ATT=1734,2188
3) Stop and restart service router and unix gateway
I didn't have time to try this out, but you may have better luck.
Rgds, Robin (apologies for late reply).

Re: deny .exe files
Robin,
We tried the mime.types route and it didn't work at all for us. We ended up blocking much more than we wanted and could never tweak it to only filter exactly as we desired. It seems that the mime type is too unpredictable, depending on the sending PC, email client, and mail servers. We could send an Excel document from two different PCs on our network and the attachments would have differing mime encodings.
