Delay in the delivery of message if attachment size more than 20MB

Asked By william s jackson 0 points N/A Posted on - 02/20/2013

What happens if someone sends a 2MB-sized attachment to more than 10 recipients, when, say a 20MB, limit for attachment has been set? Will it result in a delay in the delivery of the message?

Delay in the delivery of message if attachment size more than 20MB

Hello,

The answer is yes, it may result in a delay of the sending time, but that is not because of the 20mb limits, because you can send a 20mb attachment to 20 different e-mail addresses at the same time. The limit is set for the total amount of attachments to the text and not to the receivers. 

The delay comes from processing the data in the attachment, photographs being very hard to send. You should archive your materials so you will not have any problems, or try using a file sharing website that allows you to send a large amount of files to numerous recipients.

Hope this was useful!
