What error message are you getting?

 

[jaa69]

It says it is blocking possible harmful files from coming across. I'm sending a clean EXE file, that I know is clean. Even if I send it to another Machine in my house, I'm still getting this message. But only if outlook is being used.

Hi jaa69,

Is you machine part of an office network?

Are you using an internet connection firewall?

If you are connected to a network/or use firewall there may well be an administrator setting on the netwroks proxy/firewall preventing you from sending or receiving .exe files in fear of viruses.

Well This is my home network. For the most part it is peer to peer, but there is a Novell Server (3.12 because it still runs as a file server) but only one computer is on it. I'm using zonealarm fire wall on both computers. I can;t even e-mail it to myself. Thanks for the help..

Another thought. If you have Norton AntiVirus running, check under Options > Email Settings, and make sure Scan Outgoing Email is turned off.

Zip the .exe or change the extension to something other than .exe .bat etc...
