Default How can my computer accept email in xls

There's a good chance this extremely simple technique will work:
Have the sender change the file extension from xls to txt. That may be all
you need to do to get around the possibly meager security.

Does that help?

Why won't your computer allow *.xls files?

Is it your anti-virus blocking them?

Is it your email client blocking them? What clent are you using? MS Outlook?

Other?

Should be able to re-configure those limitations.
