How do I send email with forbidden filename extension, e.g. .exe?

Our mail server rejects Email with attachments that have filename extensions which can potentially carry malware (i.e. viruses). Any attempt to receive or send Email with such an attachment will generate an error message.

Instead use a cloud based file sharing system such as our https://cloud.stat.ubc.ca Nextcloud service or UBC's Microsoft OneDrive.
