Why does Outlook block e-mails with zip file attached?

[MS at CORE]

We are unable to receive e-mails from a certain company e-mail address when
the zip file is attached. If we have them e-mail it to our yahoo address and
forward to our POP e-mail address we can receive it but not when they are
sent directly to our pop address. Mails with other type of attachment or
without attachement are received with no problem. What is the problem and
how can I fix it?

1. Ask in an Outlook group. This group is for OneNote.
2. Sounds like your company mail server may be blocking ZIP attachments --
probably for security reasons. Check with your mail administrator.
