Describe the problem. What did you expect? What do you see? I was trying to attach a .exe file and was getting the error message saying "FSCaptureSetup63.exe is an executable file. For security reasons, Gmail does not allow you to send this type of file." but then, when changeed the extension to .pdf, was easily able to send that attachment without any error message. Even this PDF file was blocked as an extension in other emails.
List the steps to recreate the problem. 1.Change the extension of any .exe file from exe to pdf 2.Attach in the Gmail and send it to anyone 3.It will be sent unlike the exe file
What version are you using? Include the FoFiX version, the Python version, your operating system, and whether it is Git, alpha, beta, RC, or final release. (If it's Git, please include the commit hash.)
Windows XP OS, Gmail with Desk theme. Did you read the wiki on how to report bugs, conveniently called ReportingBugs? If this is a bug report, please include the log file! NO
Please provide any additional information below. I heard that google pays for the security bugs. i am pretty sure that this is a serious security issue, please let me know if this is eligible for such.
Thanks, Sudheer.
