I took a stock 2.3.2 amavisd.conf and uncommented that line, and I was able to pass routersim.zip and routersim2.zip. Is it possible one of the files was not zipped but was instead a plain .exe? If in your tests you are sending zipped .exe files like I am, then how is that different from someone else sending a zipped .exe? Are you not a user too? It would only be different if you are set up to bypass banned, or are a banned_lover or some other setting makes you different from other senders.
