My point is that, assuming the Blocked File Extensions list is run on an incoming email before the ClamAV is, those files would be dropped before they had an opportunity to crash the AV scanner.

There's a PE file vulnerability, too. Would these be defeated by adding CHM and PE files the Blocked File Extensions list?

I wouldn't say they are "defeated", but if you don't let them in, then they can't infect you or your users:

PS: PE is a type of encapsulated application (portable executable), not a file extension.
