file formats like exe etc.  

Error message gets displayed when user tries to send such files.

This post will describe how to send unsupported files via email services like gmail, yahoo, hotmail etc. Following image shows common error message which gets displayed when user tries to send exe file via gmail.

However gmail will not show any error while file is being uploaded and scanned. It shows error only when user tries to send email containing such unsupported file.
