Mailscanner: allow .zip .tar .gz extension in email

How can I configure MailScanner to allow zip/archive files through even if they contain an exe file or other potentially dangerous filename or filetype?

You can configure MailScanner to not check archives (zip, tar.gz etc).

 1) Go to WHM > MailScanner > MailScanner Configuration

and search for 'Maximum Archive Depth'.

2) Change that to 0 to disable it.

That's it. The mailscanner will allow the .zip, .tar and etc. The attachments will still be scanned for viruses.
