It is a really simple program that only starts a batch file (on Windows NT).
What can I do to prevent this action?
Changing the rules of ScanMail will not be possible, because the admins are very carefully.

It may be that your exe is getting infected after creation... is your system
totally virus-free? If your system *is* clean, then perhaps you could post
the source of your app here (if it's small enough and you don't mind) so we
can see if it triggers our own virus-checkers as well...

Hello,
You probably don't have a Virus !
Just notice the message content:
"or meets the File-Blocking rules. ScanMail took action:"

I personnaly think that it's too dangerous for ScanMail to send or receive an .exe, just zip it and try again !

To be sure, use your antivirus to scan the file ! !

Hello Dominique!

That's it! It was quite simple.
The files '*.zip' and '*.ex_' seem to be harmless vor the scanning routines.
