Windows 10 includes a tar program. It can be accessed at a command prompt. WinZip can also handle tar files. David

Yes it is, ‘yahoodns.net’. Perhaps that's what you meant to say. $ mhstore -nov -type message/rfc822 -outfile - | > mhstore -nov -file - -type message/delivery-status -outfile - | > grep -iA1 remote-mta Remote-MTA: dns; mx-aol.mail.gm0.yahoodns.net.

If they actually introspect the contents you'll have to find a way to obfuscate it. Using S/MIME or PGP encryption would probably do the trick, but can be a royal pain to set up if you're not already doing crypto pgplKu8f30SuI.pgp Description: PGP signature

But then I got the an error Email, which >I am attaching to this message. Hm, well ... good question. The key message here seems to be: The response from the remote server was: 554 Message not allowed - [299] Which is not very helpful! Googling that suggests that happens a lot when sending to Yahoo, which is not your recipient. I am not sure if this is because the jar file is flagged as malware, missing SPF records in your DNS (one poster suggested that) or something else. I don't think this is anything you can fix, unless maybe renaming the jar file extension would help. --Ken
