    hi Guy's

    A friend of mine is getting a strange error when trying to send a excel spreadsheet with some macro's in it, they can send all other types of attachment's including spreadsheets without macros.

    the error that they get returned is "too many nonmail commands"

    i got the guy's that provide the mail service to check their server and they say that this is an issue with outlook

    Any ideas on how to resolve this?

    You could always try zipping the spreadsheet before attaching it.
    It may mask the macros from your mail program and allow it to be sent.

    the friend that i am doing it for is not the most technically adept so the less confusion re: zipping and unzipping the better

    That is a work around that i was thinking of but will only use as a last resource.

    Ideally i would like to have a solution

    Zip it as a self extracting file. The recipient only has to double click it. They don't even have to have zip installed on their pc.

    Don't forget that most companies would block exe's.

    Outlook 2000 SP3 and later block many files at the recipients end. Try renaming it from EvilMacros.XLS to ReNameMeToXLS.XXX and asking the person at the other end to guess what..

    Since the windows default is to hide extensions, (why is beyond me because so many files like OST's and PST's share the same icon and any Trojan can look like any other file ) you may have to go through that too.
