The way I do it is to use Spam Assassin to delete ALL emails that have Microsoft Executable files attached. You do this by changing your Spam Assassin user_prefs file to add the line

score MICROSOFT_EXECUTABLE 20

Then Spam Assassin will treat them all as spam (except the ones in zip files which you will still get).

This could not be done, because I used to send to my users some antivirus file which is MS Executable file.

I don't think spamassasin will filter outgoing mail.

More importantly, if you are sending out an .exe attached to an email, I don't think it will arrive to many recipients.  I'm pretty sure my bellsouth mailserver will NOT deliver executable attachments to me.

Zip up the executable and attach the zip file so that your mail will get to all the recipients.

Unless...of course...MS executable....attachment...the virus...YOU???
