I would guess that most of your recepients' email systems would reject .EXE files anyway. I always zip .EXE's for that reason.

When I send zipped EXE files to my Gmail account, I always get Failure Delivery: Illegal Attachment error message.

Hmm... This is weird. How long have you been getting this error?

I sent zipped .EXE files to several people over the last couple of weeks no problem. They were Flash slideshows of my kid that I sent to friends and family. I sent it from my Gmail account both to other gmail accounts and non-gmail accounts. No problems.

Now today I try sending the same files to another gmail account and get an error saying the ZIP contains an EXE file and refuses to send.

Have they changed something recently? Have others been able to send zipped EXEs in the past? Can you now?

I just rename the .exe files to .ex or .abc and then email it without any problems... Then rename it again to .exe when I want to DL it and install...

My Gmail is 2 Gigbyte, does anyone else have this?
