gmail doesn't like rar?

[dighn]

every time i send a rar to my gmail account, it gets returned as "illegal attachment". it's only text files. and if i compress with zip instead it goes through

anybody else exp. this?

Try renaming the file or something (the extension)

i'd rather compress it as zip instead of renaming and sending it manually

just wondering if gmail is blocking rars or it's someother problem
