Re: Outlook won't send large attachments



The event viewer is an application that allows you to view any events that
occur in your applications, system, or security. Particularly I would be
interested in your applications event viewer and any errors that might
mention Outlook.
You can get to your event viewer by going to:

start > run > eventvwr <enter>

Highlight Applications and look for any red error messages. When you open
one, it should have an event ID number and a source. That would be pertinent
information.

Are you running any Outlook Add Ins or have your antivirus scanning outgoing
email?
