To Olivier ,
After we try to disable this configure to check .exe , .exe-ms , and test with email that include ban content email
then that email could pass normally and never block ban .
### amavisd.conf for BLOCKED ANYWHERE # qr'^UNDECIPHERABLE$', # is or contains any undecipherable components
#qr'^\.(exe|exe-ms|dll)$', # banned file(1) types, rudimentary
So we surely this kind of blocking relate with this configure line.
qr'^\.(exe|exe-ms|dll)$', # banned file(1) types, rudimentary
So I also try to find this kind of problem on amavis forum ,
They said about file(1) , But my file version already version 5.14 .
So any recommendation to fix or any hints on this issue ?
Please do not hesitate to contact us , If you have any questions .
Best Regards.

Usually it is not only qr'^\.(exe|exe-ms|dll)$, but it is many lines like in my configuration:
$banned_filename_re = new_RE(
### BLOCKED ANYWHERE

So you must check every line, not just one line.

You must look at the messages in /var/virusmail/banned and make sure that Lotus note is not adding somthing in the message, even if you send plain text message, Lotus note may be doing something to it, the only way is to check the message in /var/virusmail/banned
