Your math is a bit off. A 5.1MB binary file will be more like 7MB by the time
it is encoded for mail transmission.
7MB=7000KB= 56000Kb. Divide that by 191 and you get 293 seconds, or
about 4.9 minutes.
Also, many ISPs have a limit on outgoing message size, usually somewhere
in the range of 2-20MB.
Some antivirus programs still route email through their proxy even when
scanning is disabled. This can cause a server time-out with large attachments.

OK, I can now send attachments.
Sort of.
1st test was an imbedded picture (003.jpg) 924,439bytes.
I did get this one back!
But, it took a long time to send this file.
Yes, I do only have 256Kbps (well, maybe like 191Kbps) outbound on my wire.
Yes, I think I've done the math!
So, I move on to Test02. Test02 is a 5.1MB dot.wmv
(Flashlight.wmv) file. (Interesting file for my family!)
Math shows ~20-21sec to send.........
IT fails/Times out ~12sec with my new setup. Expected; but still testing. I will go diddle w/timeout settings..in TBird...and
re-test.
I have disabled my A/V from scanning OUTBound business.
Other than my 256Kbps limit, is there anywhere else I should peek/poke?
Yes, I am still learning TBird.
Please, for all of you "I do not do local Email business....", I don't need your opinion. I already know you do email via other
channels I do NOT use.
I sincerely apologize for my last thread start......... Never my intention to start a
"skirmish" about how BEST to do email....
I think WE do what we choose to do. Whatever.....
Thanks,
Duncan
