Sending and receiving attachments

When sending or receiving e-mail messages always take into account the following:

• The mail servers will allow up to 25 MB. It is however not recommended to send messages that large.
• Attachments in an e-mail message always have to be processed within the e-mail message itself. The encoding increases the size of the messages by one third.
  If an attachment is about 18 MB, the mail will take up about 25 MB.
• For the 'Exchange' environment, the same limits apply.

Some mail server from other domains may enforce other size limits (eg. 8MB). For that reason it is recommended to keep e-mail attachements as small as possible (e.g. by compressing them to a zip file) or to make files available in an other way.
