POP3 and Exchange Server

[Sherman H.]

We use Outlook XP in the office. Each employee has two email accounts:
ISP's and the company's Exchange Server's. Somehow, some emails with
attachments cannot get through. Does this have something to do with the
dual settings? Before we added the ISP account, it was okay for mails with
attachments.

Any comments are appreciated.

which account are you trying to send them on and how big are the
attachments?

I was trying to use the POP3 and the file size was 10MB.

which account are you trying to send them on and how big are the
attachments?

That's pretty large. Your ISP or the recipient's ISP probably blocks that.
If you have a registered domain name, better to host your own mail on the
Exchange server anyway...much easier to administer - more centralized,
allows for OWA, centralized Exchange AV scanning, etc. I don't generally
recommend using POP and Exchange in the same profile, even in versions of
Outlook that handle it well (anything after OL2000).

Usually, at least in our case, the ISP blocks certain

attachments to minimize the rish of infection to the
system. That is what our ISP does and so does our
companys firewall.
