I gave up trying to understand what happens in the heads of IT admins.
Just yesterday I sent an update of my app to my customer - appended to an
email. This time I sent it to his private email address, not his company email
account.
Last time I had to send it twice, the exe was stripped from my email and after
hours trying to get it released from the IT he phoned me to send it to his
private
email account. There he _could_ download the exe to his company PC!
Funny how they have secured their company net, isn't it?

Possibly. But most people develop scripts on an ordinary desktop and
upload to a shared hosting server. Most hosting providers configure an
SMTP server on the same web server so that script writers do not have to
explicitly specify an IP address.

Helmut,

Default behaviour, exe's don't go trhough almost through not any mailserver
anymore.

The admins don't do that, they simply install the latest updates.

They have to do something extra to remove that, and who will do that as that
can be a reason for a complete company going down, they will be direct
fired, whatever they complain and right they have.

Mailservers do not change the mail.
They MAY defer to filters to do this, but I've not seen any mainstream
MTAs that block these by default out of the box.

After all, that is not their job...
