This morning I got an e-mail with a *pps presentation, that was easily delivered and opened, while my inbox is not empty. The presentation shows 20 Dia's all filled with photographs.
When I send my presentation with only 10 dia's it was everywhere refused and returned by mailer-daemon. I really do not understand this occurrence, do you?

As I mentioned, that may occur due to the attachment types or as someone else mentioned, there may be a restriction on attachment size or mailbox capacity. Either way, if you can send attachments to some addresses, but not others, the problem is not caused by OpenOffice. An easy way around this, is to place the file on a server and link to it in your email. Please respond only to the mail list ([email protected]) and not directly to me.

Only when I sent it to my gmail account it was delivered and easily opened. The presentation consist of 10 dia's with fotographs, so has it something to do with the capacity of the mailboxes? However each Powerpoint that is sent to my mailbox (20 mb) from other people will be delivered and opened, despite the capacity of my mailbox.

Different ISPs have different policies about what they do and don't block. In addition, some ISPs allow their individual users more or less control over what happens in this regard. As another addition, people running their own mail daemons (many *nix users do this) will/may also have their own policies which may or may not have been correctly implemented. -- Harold Fuchs London, England Please reply *only* to [email protected]
