Mail Server Blocks Sending Zip Attachments
Some companies will restrict sending emails with zip attachments as an attempt to minimise the spread of computer viruses.
The files contained on the SD card do not contain any executables or any type of file that could be infected with a virus.
To workaround this problem upload the file to a secure cloud hosting service such as WeTransfer.
The link below provides step-by-step instructions for using WeTransfer.
