Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: AOL message size restrictions?
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. AOL mail servers are throttling inbound message sizes dynamically, I have a friend that works in one of the many IT sections. It is best to zip the file, upload it to a web server, and mail that link to your recip. Travis --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.

RE: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: AOL message size restrictions?
Thanks, Travis (and Dave, too). Our empirical tests seem to bear that out. The really weird thing is that the messages are just being eaten once they get accepted by AOL. They're accepted, not rejected. We do not get a follow-up non-delivery or bounce message. We're not spammers. Small messages consistently work. Large messages don't. We've come up with a workaround, but it would be nice to have a consistent experience so that we could have left this problem solving to the end-users involved.

Re: [Declude.JunkMail] OT: AOL message size restrictions?
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.

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?
