Lotus Notes Failed to send the attachment

Dear Hazelwlee,

To send an attachment by email generally it is preferred to send it in a compressed form to avoid troubles in sending like failure of sending and it would take less time to upload it.

The second thing there is a certain limit for the size of file you can send by email I think it is 50 MB for Lotus note check your file size and try to compress it.

Are you sending the messages outbound through a Microsoft Exchange server and are the Lotus Notes recipients viewing it as a winmail.dat file?

If so, then the difficulty is that the mail server you are sending your messages through is designed to send in TNEF format instead of native MIME to external recipients. TNEF is a Microsoft format, not a standard, though many mail servers do convert it properly which would explain why gmail recipients are not having the problem.

Up to date Lotus Domino versions can also convert it, but might not have the function created.
