llama_thumper Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Hi all, Was wondering if somebody can tell me what the size limit is for a sent email, from a totalchoice to a totalchoice account. i've recently got an email rejected (17mb) which I've never had happen before. i'm not sure if its a problem with totalchoice, or whether my ISP smtp server is at fault...

TCH-Thomas Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I believe its 10 mb. Not an TCH limit I think though, since I have seen many email services have this limit. Quote
llama_thumper Posted October 20, 2005 Author Posted October 20, 2005 thanks. any idea when this was introduced? Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 I don't know if there is a limit on outgoing email but the receiving end may have one. Put the file on your web space with an FTP client and send an email with the link to download it to the person you are sending. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted October 20, 2005 Posted October 20, 2005 Thanks Bruce for reminding me. I forgot to say I ment the receiving end seems to have this limit. As for the question, when it was introduced... I don´t know but if speaking about the internet in general, I have seen this limit for many many years. Quote
llama_thumper Posted October 20, 2005 Author Posted October 20, 2005 i guess help desk will know... the only reason i am asking is because i dont remember having it before... Quote
llama_thumper Posted April 26, 2006 Author Posted April 26, 2006 for the record, sending a 31mb email between two totalchoice accounts (within one domain) worked - via outlook though, not webmail. Quote
TCH-Andy Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 We do not place a size limit on sending, or receiving emails. Having said that, as Thomas and Bruce have both said, there are many other service providers (and even some routes) that do place a limit. Email is not the optimum way to send large files, and I would suggest using FTP to transfer large files. Quote
llama_thumper Posted April 26, 2006 Author Posted April 26, 2006 thx - i know, just testing for emergency situations Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 26, 2006 Posted April 26, 2006 For emergency purposes get a GMail account. Quote
makaveli Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 if its a big file that i dont want eating my bandwidth i use tools like yousendit or gmail is, as bruce said a good idea, and if you know anyone with gmail its not hard to get an invite i remember back in the day when invites were being sold on ebay!

TCH-Tim Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 if you know anyone with gmail its not hard to get an invite They also do them via SMS now. That's how I got mine. link Quote
Deverill Posted May 7, 2006 Posted May 7, 2006 Just remember that anything on gmail is stored for apparently a very long time and is subject to court ordered subpoena. That won't bother most people but it should be said in case it's a problem for you. Some people are very nervous about that kind of thing. Quote
TCH-Don Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 Gmail invites are like tribbles, no matter how many I give away they come back Quote

Samrc Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 Gmail invites are ike tribbles Mine don't make nice comforting purring sounds.... and they don't require feeding to multiply! Quote
TCH-JimE Posted May 8, 2006 Posted May 8, 2006 Hello, Also remember to have your inbox big enough to take the email! JimE Quote
