The primary reason for banned files checks is to be able to catch new viruses before they are being recognized by virus scanners - as a permanent or as as a temporary quick-fix solution. The primary reason for header checks from my point is to be able to spot in-house PCs with broken MUA (misconfigured or poor/old version or just plainly bad software implementation). In the last year or two the use of non-encoded 8-bit national characters in headers went down from substantial to almost nil here, to the benefit of recipients of such mail.
