Can you attach any file to an email message?  Do you use only web-based email?

I'm not familiar with Symantec EndPoint protection but I wonder whether it may be the cause of the problem here.  Can access a settings screen and look for some setting that would cause this?  Or, if Symantec EndPoint protection does not include your firewall (don't get online without firewall protection), disable Symantec EndPoint protection temporarily and see whether that allows you to send .xls files.
