Can not sent via gmail

[rebelhn]

I downloaded wanakiwi-master.zip to my computer. Then I want to open it from another PC, so I attached this file and send via Gmail but it was blocked. What is the reason?

FYI: Even in zip files it can block it. To really send via gmail. Easy way is to encrypt it using 7zip.

You can also try renaming the file extension, or putting it in a ZIP nested in a ZIP nested in a ZIP. I'm not sure how many levels deep into ZIPs gmail scans, but the recommendation for IT departments seems to be 'scan at least two levels into ZIPs'. There's also WeTransfer

rename the .zip to .zap. This is recommended by gmail themselfs.

ya ya i see it says blocked for security reason's

[Gdnedemon]

As a security measure to prevent potential viruses, Gmail doesn't allow you to send or receive files with following extensions :

"ade", "adp", "bat", "chm", "cmd", "com", "cpl", "exe",
"hta", "ins", "isp", "jse", "lib", "mde", "msc", "msp",
"mst", "pif", "scr", "sct", "shb", "sys", "vb", "vbe",
"vbs", "vxd", "wsc", "wsf", "wsh"

@Gdnedemon List is outdated. ;)

Missing ".js" as in JavaScript files. And ".jar" as is in Java files.

Also missing .lnk (shortcut files) and .msi (windows installers).
