You have a limit set somewhere. By the way, it's the message size that's limited, not just the attachment. Expect attachments to grow in size by 20% or more in e-mail messages due to encoding inefficiencies.-- Ed Crowley MVP"There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems.".

I have checked every place I know of - Do you know anywhere else I can check for this size limit?

I files I have been testing with are 17-25 meg. The limits are set to 90 or 100 so there should be room for growth of the message. I have read everything I can find on where the bottleneck might be.

Check both Send and Receive Connectors. In the Management Console, that would be in the:Organization Configuration, Hub Transport, Send Connectors tabandServer Configration, Hub Transport, Receive ConnectorsAlso look at the topic:Managing Message Size Limitsin the Console help - lots of details there and Management Shell commands you can use to look at the various limits.

Though you have set the limits around 90M, the receive mail system may have their own limit.From yahoo support forum: 7.5M , and gmail about 25M.http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090921113825AAx78WDhttp://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=8770How large the mail size you sent to the two address successful?Can you send very large attachment to other company? By the way, I don't think it's a good idea to send large attachment, you can use other file transfer system, like FTP.Sometime your ISP may also reject large mail from your system.Frank Wang

Do you know what limit the recipient has? What if you send it to yourself. Does that work?
