Forum Overview :: Rants :: Yahoo doesn't have that problem

[quote name="Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS)"]If someone sends you a zip file, Yahoo will inspect it for viruses. Only if it finds one will it refuse to allow you to download the file. As part of the software development we did at one government agency, we routinely e-mailed exe files either as patches or as test cases to get information. If users could not have received .exe files it would have caused terrible problems in fixing support issues. Simplest thing to do is to rename an .exe or .zip file to something else, .png, .gif, .bin, .svg, or something else, possibly an image file or something it wouldn't recognize. [/quote]
