Resolved Outlook 2003 Blocking sending of attachments

With Outlook 2003 - Windows 7
Is there any way to turn off blocking of my sending email with attachments?
I know what I am sending and need to send out an exe file as an attachment.

I don't want the email send attachment protection!

I also Have Norton Security Suite and can't find any way to turn it off there.

Can't find any option that I can set in either program.

Thank you

You may receive an "Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments" message in Outlook

This should do what you want to do.

 

Microsoft Outlook does not allow certain types of files as attachments because of their potential for introducing a virus into a computer. Files with the following file extensions are blocked by Outlook:

.ade, .adp, .app, .asp, .bas, .bat, .cer, .chm, .cmd, .cnt, .com, .cpl, .crt, .csh, .der, .exe, .fxp, .gadget, .hlp, .hpj, .hta, .inf, .ins, .isp, .its, .js, .jse, .ksh, .lnk, .mad, .maf, .mag, .mam, .maq, .mar, .mas, .mat, .mau, .mav, .maw, .mda, .mdb, .mde, .mdt, .mdw, .mdz, .msc, .msh, .msh1, .msh2, .mshxml, .msh1xml, .msh2xml, .msi, .msp, .mst, .ops, .osd, .pcd, .pif, .plg, .prf, .prg, .pst, .reg, .scf, .scr, .sct, .shb, .shs, .ps1, .ps1xml, .ps2, .ps2xml, .psc1, .psc2, .tmp, .url, .vb, .vbe, .vbp, .vbs, .vsmacros, .vsw, .ws, .wsc, .wsf, .wsh and .xnk.​

Note that Outlook blocks those on both the sending and receiving computers.

 

Thank You all.
A lot of work to do something I want to do. Have decided the easiest way is to either change the file extension and have receiver change it back. Alternate is to use my Yahoo email account which lets me send all sort of files. Just have to go out of my way in either case.
My ISP does not appear to block either receiving or sending.

I do understand that the protection is there in case a virus or something ends up sending email from my PC. But, this is a case where I would just like to be able to turn it off or on with a simple setting in Outlook.

Sometimes the "World " protects things too much and sometimes not enough.

Actually, the idea that we need this protection from ourselves and others is very scary, but now the way of the world. Witness the current news re China hacking our major company secrets. Link to article from New York Times Feb 19.

Thanks again and did not mean to end this post by preaching.
Will close this thread.
