Hi all we just had a case where an email was banned because Declude said it
had an exe in the email, when it only had a TXT.

What happened here?

The problem here is that the mail client (a program whose name is as poor as its MIME handling: "Mail A.01.77") is giving out 2 different names for the file. In one location, it calls the file "EPM11002.FILES.CANJET", in the other location it calls it "EPM11002.TXT". While Declude Virus knows that a TXT file is safe, it doesn't know that a CANJET file is not safe. To ensure that the extension gets handled properly (as the worst possible file extension), it is treated as an .EXE file.
