Profile - Content, you can add it.

I think you should preferably block extensions on your Mail Exchanger appliance, why? for logging and archiving what is blocked.

If you still want to do it on Fortigate, you need to go to Security Profiles -> Data Leak Preventions and make a new profile with a SMTP block of filename extension and put that filter on the policy for inbound and/or outbound (what is preferable). 

I never tested this and like i said earlyer, why do this on firewall level, do it on mail exchanger level.

Use this Kb => http://kb.fortinet.com/kb/documentLink.do?externalID=FD35108

On the "Test_file_filter" list, change to "Filename pattern" and add "*.ace"

Apply this DLP to the firewall rule that inspects your Exchange traffic on port 25 SMTP. 

That should be enough.
