it contains both text and a modos exe file

would it be better to use amavisd-milter, and change the banned to 
reject ?

you wont miss the exe file

in case you like to debug it more

ripmime -i banned-quarntine-file -d /tmp

if it gz compressed quarantine do gzip -d first

if ls /tmp shows a exe file, you got it

upload this exe file to virustotal.com and see if its safe to use 
anyway, but dont do it, never use exe file delivered in email, never 
ever
