The limits on email sizes are determined by the ISPs and Email Administrators.
There is no real standard defining what is the acceptable email size. A quick check on the main ISPs using Telnet and EHLO gives me the following. smtp.cleat.net.nz - No defined email size limit smtp.xtra.co.nz - 20971520 bytes (20 Mb more or less) smtp.vodafone.co.nz - 33554432 (33Mb more or less) smtp.inspire.net.nz - 51200000 (50Mb more or less) smtp.orcon.net.nz - 31457280 (31Mb more or less) In the past I have even found one ISP whose limit was about 10Mb. One also should consider the appropriateness of firing regular 30Mb messages and whether an email with a link to a file stored on a web site or FTP server would be a more efficient means of disseminating their information. -- NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected]
