How can I add an .exe file to redirect in cpanel global email filters thanks

Hey there! There isn't a way to filter attachment extensions through the global filters, so you would likely need to create a custom filter for that user. There are details on how to perform that work outlined here:

SOLVED - best way to block specific attachment for one recipient domain only

I have a case where a user with many email accounts under their domain wants to entirely block a common attachment extension (.ZIP). Although I've explained to them this is a bad idea, and ZIP files are not executable and that it comes down to end user education/virus protection yada yada they...

forums.cpanel.net

but as with any customization, our support is a bit limited.

The new documentation site is here, for your reference: How to Customize the Exim System Filter File | cPanel & WHM Documentation

If you'd like to see this added directly to the cPanel interface, it would be a good idea to submit a feature request to our developers so they can consider this option. You can do that using the link in my signature.

I don't fully understand the question.
Are you trying to send or recieve an .exe file ?

Out of the box, doesn't exim block .exe extensions by default.
I thought it was all but impossible to send an exe by email these days.

That's a good point @keat63 - most mail providers have blocked exe so those are typically not delivered anyway.
