Updates to Restricted Email Attachments
|
The current list of blocked email attachments has been updated by Central IT, which can be found here.
If you need to send a file that is of a file-type listed in the above list, your choices are to use OneDrive and share the folder or file, or see this URL for other options.
We recommend using UBC OneDrive to replace email attachments as it will reduce the size of the email significantly.
Additionally, you will also get an email that the recipient has accessed your file(s).
