Hi,

a strange problem arised in outlook 2003 ?
I send automatic emails of an application with an attachment based on a
query.
The receiver gets problems when i send more then 99 emails ! I send the
mails one by one , but the name of the atachment is always the same (eg the
name of the query). The attachments are appaerantly stored in a subfolder
of outlook. When the count of the attacmends exceeds the cout of 99, the
reeiver can only see the mail, but the attachment has vanished.
In mine mailbox in sended items , the attachmenet is present.

is this an welknown problem in outlook 2003 and how i can handle this ? the
OS is WinXP prof

Many Thanks, Jill

Consider yourself lucky that the domain doesn't completely block your
e-mails. You send 99 e-mails with exactly the same content in a short
time and expect no ones anti-spam filters to get rid of all those
copies? You can't do anything about the recipient's anti-spam measures
or the recipient's ISP anti-spam schemes. In some cases, senders wonder
why their e-mails get tagged as spam when they used the same background
template on each e-mail and then hit a domain with lots of copies of
that e-mail. The text was different but the background template was the
same so the receiving e-mail server sees lots of e-mails come in with
nearly identical content (because the background was most of the
content).

Explain why a single "receiver" needs more than one copy of your e-mail.
You might also want to talk with your own ISP to check on what are their
outbound anti-spam schemes.

hi,
it's an email based on a query in an access-application. Of course they have
allways the same name. because it's the same query with different data in
it.
in outlook 2002 it wasn't a problem at all ! It(s when they upgrade there
outlook to 2003 this problem arised
It's only when the count of the attachment exceeds the number of 99, he is
vanished.
I did a search on google and i'am not alone with this problem, but a
solution i didn't find.

regards, jill

I don't think this is a mail sending issue. My guess is that the recipient's Outlook temp folder is full of 99 files with the same name plus a number between 1 and 99 and cannot create another copy. Cleaning out that folder will probably resolve the problem.

Jill might want to consider using a unique file name for each transmission.

Did you call your ISP to find out their limitations for sending emails?

Hi,

thankx to your quick response.

I wonder i can redirect the subfolder of the stored attachement and delete
them automaticly by a batch-file ?
I think this is easierr than rename the queryname for each transmission ?

You'd have to change the recipient's registry to change the Outlook temp folder to a specific folder. Details in the MSKB.
