I get 240 emails/day.

about 15% have executable attachments, because that's the way developers use
mail, we attach self-expanding zip files.

My organization has about 100 people that fall into this category.

First off, not only would you all save space if you stopped 
exchanging self-extracting (executable) archives, but your 
organization would be far less vulnerable.  Use the ordinary 
zip files instead.
 
I find it unacceptable that you are asking some console operator to
1.  Determine if my zip files are legitimate....

By "console operator", I mean you, the user, or whoever is 
sitting at your keyboard when your mail is being read.

Cheers,
James
