I was back in the days when I drove to work for someone else that I was dealing with a client that had Mordoc, the preventer of information in their IT department. Even when I sent a file to the IT department they would not open it and put it on the server. She got pissed off enough to drive to McDonald's with her personal laptop, and downloaded the file. Then she used a thumb drive to copy the file to sneak it past IT. It got to the point that she just sent me her personal email address so I could email the files there. Then I had some big files that needed FTP. Only her home email could download them. The entire time the owner of the company was demanding she get her presentation finished ASAP hair on fire, now now now! She was not happy in her job.
It isn't about compression, IT guys either treat ZIP files like leprosy or they don't care a whit. ZIP is one of the most unsafe extensions so I would send a ZIP just to mess with them.
