Put .exe in .zip?
Most email providers will block .exe files by default for safety reasons. It is very easy to send malicious code through an .exe file so they won’t risk it. It would be best to use another method to share your file like Teams, Discord, or uploading it to a file sharing website like Dropbox.
Rename the exe to .jpg or .txt
Instead of having something like game.exe, rename it to game.exe.txt and then do it.
I remember emailing a python script and it wouldn’t let me, adding a .txt after the .py fixed it. This was on outlook a year or so back.
because emailing .exes is classic scammer behavior lol. Personally I’d just call this a good excuse to get acquainted with github and attach the exe to a release. Then you can send your friends a direct download link.
Barring that I’d just host it somewhere like google drive.
GitHub. It won’t be flagged there because it’s designed for sharing source code and programs. Your friends can download from a link without an account
WinRAR
Someone mentioned github. Another place you could put it is itch.io
If the code is written in python why are you distributing an exe file? Just send them the python file.
