Attachments

You are limited to sending attachments of up to 25MB. We also block attachments which are considered to be dangerous, this includes:

  • Any attachment that is detected as a virus by our antivirus systems;
  • Any executable file (such as .exe .scr .bat), even if it is contained within an archive like Zip files. We do not block all Zip files, just those containing executables. Zip files containing documents or images are not blocked.
