Heh, here they stopped allowing that here even before they outsourced.  Too
many viruses were getting spread around via ZIP files that people would
blindly click on.  It's not true that you can't send them through Gmail,
though.  I just tried one and it worked. Maybe the site you were sending it
to rejected it?

Many (most?) email providers also now reject mail sent from cable and DSL
IP blocks, due to spam problems.  That was another reason I stopped hosting
my own.
