So right now I try to read up on how to actually handle the mime object here...

And I had an additional question:

Does Synapse throw exceptions when errors happen? It does not look like that in
the code I have examined so far but I have only looked in two units..

Yes, it does.

You should always assume exceptions. Maybe synapse itself does not throw
one, but e.g. underlying file IO routines might.

So I have succeeded in sending a zip file as attachment using Synapse code
snippets from your pdf and also the smtp source examples.

However, when I send to 3 of my email addresses (one To and two Cc addresses) I get the email only to one of them. It does not matter if I place that address first or in the middle of the address list, it will get the email in any case.

But the two other accounts (my company email managed by Google and my private
Gmail) do not get the messages.

Apart from reordering the 3 mail addresses I have also tried to replace the attached zipfile with another non-zip binary file, and then the emails to Gmail
accounts are received.

This is baffling and makes it hard to move on. Our monitoring system packages measured data into a zipfile in order for it to be reduced in size and because
the data set consists of several files which need to be together.

Is there some kind of blocking for emails with zip attachments which stops them
from being delivered to GMail accounts?

If so, is there some other type of compressed format I can use which is allowed
by GMail?

Probably a silly question, but have you checked the Spam folder in GMail? In general, you can certainly send ZIP files to GMail. Also, what was the size of those attachments? The e-mail used as sender address didn't get any SMTP error message, did it? Personally, I'd guess for some other difference in your sending apart from the attachment type.
