If you disable macros by saving the file in .xlsx format then all VBA code will be removed from the file. The restriction on sending macro enabled files is likely a network security setting which you could confirm with your network System Administrator. These settings are often implemented by restricting attachments based on their file extensions rather than inspecting the actual attachment contents. You could test this by trying to send a blank .xlsm file containing no macros and see if it is rejected. If it is, then try saving and sending as .xlsb file.
