Hi

I'm running Win XP Home on a P4 3.2ghz / 1.5GHZ 400mhz RAM/ Outlook 2003 SP2
and I'm having problems sending a 43MB file. (MPEG)

It sits "sending" in my outbox for hours. I'm on a 2.2Mbps Broadband
connection with no limits in/out for the file size.

If I send a smaller 1-2MB file it goes in seconds.

Any ideas?

Nik.

Most smtp servers are set up so as to limit the max size of attachments
allowed. Typically 5mb.

Look at your service providers help on their website, there may be a maximum
attachment size for a message- split it into parts for transmission.

No e-mail server will accept a file of that size. If you have access to a
web site, you should be able to upload it to the site and have your intended
recipient download it. http://www.tripod.lycos.com/ has some cheap space.
However, their free space only provides for 20MB. Otherwise burn it to a CD
and take your chances on the U.S. Postal service...
