Email security and attachments
XMission rejects email attachments with commonly malicious file formats as a security measure to prevent potential viruses from impacting customers. Rejecting emails with executable files, for example file.exe, will protect you from possibly receiving malicious software containing a virus or malware.
This blocking is applied to all inbound and outbound email. Automatically, a reject notice will be sent to any sender attempting to send to, or from, the XMission mail system.
