some time we need to send .exe file in attachment but gmail dosenot allow us to do so. even gmail not allow exe file in zip formate. I am surprised with this. that mean we need extra account for sending exe file.

This is only a security issue, to prevent potential virus. Gmail does not accept these types of files, even if they are sent in a zipped format. if you want to send executable file. you can use file shared hosting like rapidshare or turbo upload.
