Same here, re: these certain attachments being stripped (usually .exe, .com, anything relating to MS Office due to macro virus issues). The .zip files do not get stripped, which is useful as I often create self-extacting .exe files for encrypted .Zip files. If I try to attach the self-extracting .exe file(s), the attachment(s) get stripped. So I simply re-Zip the .exe file, attach it, and away it goes. The client Unzips the .zip, gets the self-extracting and encrypted .exe file, executes it with the proper passphrase, and voila! They have their payload. Of course, whenever it is practical to do so I use my ftp Server. Still, anything that has sensitive data is Zipped and Encrypted as ftp is still a clear text transport method.
