Xplornet Mail powered by Google Apps - General FAQ

Why am I unable to send or receive certain emails with an attachment?



Certain emails with attachments cannot be sent or received for two reasons.

  1. Using Gmail, you can send and receive messages up to 20 megabytes (MB) total (including attachments). Any message sent to you that exceeds this limit will not be delivered to your recipient's inbox and will be returned to the sender.
  2. As a security measure to prevent potential viruses, Xplornet Mail powered by Google Apps does not allow you to send or receive executable files (such as files ending with .exe) that could contain damaging code. These types of files will not be allowed even if they are sent in a zipped (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz) format. If this type of message is sent to your address, it is returned to the sender automatically.
