We usually use filename.exe.renamed that way you just tell them to remove the .renamed and it will start working again. Haven't had any problems with attachments being blocked using this scheme.

Just to clarify, I renamed to ._e_x_e and that worked fine.

| Jul 18, 2010 at 22:19 | comment | added | Lipis | @William are you sure you changed the file extension? | |
| Jul 18, 2010 at 22:16 | comment | added | ChrisF♦ | @Roddy, It just checks for the extension, or for common renames of the extension. If you zip the file it opens that and checks the extensions of the files it contains. | |
| Jul 18, 2010 at 22:15 | comment | added | William | This didn't work for me. I expect the content detection is done by file header inspection instead. | |
| Jul 18, 2010 at 22:14 | comment | added | Roddy | Thanks. Just tried this and it works - for some reason, I thought that google scanner was smarter than that... | |
