Maximum file size attachment outgoing? Eudora 6.1
Sam Lowry
I keep hitting some maximum size when sending large files from Eudora 6.1
(I had the same problem with earlier versions). What is the maximum and how
can I change it?
Thanks,
SL
Rick
I don't believe that Eudora has a limit that you are likely to excede,
but your ISP probably does. Check with them and see if they can make an
exception for you. (not likely)

What you are probably receiving, if you are in Eudora, is a
warning message controlled at:
Tools | Options | Extra Warnings
Warn me when I
Queue a message bigger than xxx K
Eudora only warns you. You are free to ignore the warning and
send the email out. It is your email provider that determines
what is the maximum size email [attachment included] they will
accept on their SMTP servers for entry into the email system.
Typically, if what is left of my memory is still working, it is
something like 5MB or less. Sometimes a lot less, since some
mail providers limit their customers' entire mail storage to 5MB
or less. I always check with the recipient if I have anything
over about half a meg to send them, and always shoe-leather-mail,
snail-mail or FedEx anything over a meg or two, depending on
recipient's location/desires.

Try using FTP for files larger than 2mb or whatever the lowest common
denominator is between the sender's smtp server and the receipient's
POP3/IMAP server will permit. Waaay faster than snail-mail

You don't FTP files between mail servers, but you can use it to transfer a
file into a user's shared file space which allows anonymous FTP or to which
they have granted you access.

Sending files via an instant messaging program can work well too, and may
be easier for people who do use an instant messaging program but don't
know anything about FTP or don't have server space available to put the
files in. AIM is the one I've used for this purpose, but I think others
probably have this feature as well. E-mail is NOT an efficient method for
transferring big files.
