Have you tried queueing them with the ByPass Filters option (CTRL-Y)? That should work.

You can also remove exe files from the global filter, but itimpi's suggestion is probably best.

Btw, not trying to sound like your mother, but while I know there are plenty of posts with safe exe files embedded in a rar, I have *never* seen a bare, single exe post I would ever consider trusting. Just saying...

Look in the spam options. You'll have to disable the EXE filter there.
