Gmail and Executable Attachments

In an effort to combat the spread of computer viruses, Google’s Gmail does not allow you to send or receive executable files even if they are in a zipped format. Although many blogs have reported ways around this, most of these violate Google’s terms of service, and your Gmail account could be terminated. The simplest way to is to upload your files to a free online hosting service, and then email the URL to your recipient. Some choices include: Mega Upload , You Send It , Send This File.
