Nothing wrong with an exe getting through.  I, on occasion, send things 
to myself that are small executables (maybe its a perl script wrapped up 
with par, or a self executing zip file).  Outlook, being the jacked up 
program that it is, just flat out blocks them.

Blindly blocking all .exe, .zip, .<xxx> attachments is just an idiotic 
knee-jerk reaction.  Much like banning violent video games because a few 
of the millions that play commit an act of excessive violence.
