Does this mean that I cannot send a file with the zip extension?
No. You can send a zipped file. You need to simply rename the extension to zit. For example if you have a file called documents.zip rename the file extension so the file is documents.zit. This will allow the email with the file to be delivered. Just remember to have the receipiant to rename the file back to documents.zip before he/she unzips it.
