All policy-based rules are defined in quarantine-events.txt.
If you have a look in it, you will see this line related to your  
question:

is-set  Policy-ZIPPASSWORDPROTECTED:    Password-protected Zip  
disallowed by policy

This means that mails which have a ZIPPASSWORDPROTECTED header with a  
value "is-set" will be blocked.
As explained in the comments above the line, this header is set  
automatically by QMS when a password-protected ZIP file is detected.

To disable this rule, comment it out by adding a # at the beginning  
of that line, and then run 'qmail-scanner-queue.pl -g' to update the  
corresponding db file, as stated at the beginning of quarantine- 
events.txt.

Hope that helps,
