I remember, somewhere, a setting about the email size. On our system,
it was initially set ridiculously low. But, right now, I am drawing a
blank on where it is found. I did not think that intermediate hops
were concerned about the email size or the attachment size. But, the
sender cares. For example, my email address is now managed by Google
(long story). I have not checked for attachment size limit since
Google was used to handle email. But, before that happened, the
maximum size was 2MB. One other account I created on a free mail
service has a 10MB limit. I think Google has no limit - but I could
be wrong. Once the email is started over the network, the
intermediate stops may segment the mail and reassemble it later, at
least from what I have seen.

Andy:

It seems very likely that 15MB exceeds the maximum allowed size of many
or most ISPs for e-mail attachments.

You did not say what "error(s)" you are getting -- but I suspect you are
running into these typical limits imposed by most ISPs.

*NOTE:* this could be happening at your ISP or at the ISP of the person
to whom you are trying to send the e-mail attachment.

Perhaps you could just e-mail a link to where they can download the
large file from -- many free services, like "dropbox" let you do this.

HTH,

I've successfully created a rather large excel spreadsheet using Scott
Klements POI utilities and sending it as an attachment and using Aaron
Bartell Email utility to do that.

The size of the email attachment is 14,931 KB.

Is there any issues that anyone knows of a size attachment limitation on
this email utility? Running in to a problem sending it.

Thanks
