Hi, Andrew,
AOL seems pretty random.
Sometimes they reject messages as small as 750K. Other times, it seems they
let anything through.
They may be throttling inbound message sizes dynamically.
But of course, it may be that their SMTP servers are not coordinated very
well and that each server has its own inbound size restrictions. In that
case, it's the luck of the draw.
To be sure that attachments are delivered to AOL customers, Zip them, or do
whatever you have to do to be sure they do not exceed 700K. In my
experience, attachments under 700K almost always get through.

Subject: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: AOL message size restrictions?
There seems to be lots of experience with AOL.com on this list...
Does anybody know of an internal or external limit on messages sizes at
AOL?
I have Exchange outbound logs that show that a message was delivered to
AOL (twice, even!) at over 10 MB (11 million bytes plus) that hasn't
come out the other end to the recipient. I believe the recipient.
I've advised zipping the attachment(s) and/or breaking up the
attachments to multiple messages, so it will get tried again.
Any thoughts or comments?
