mosquitoman Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Hi I am using Thundebird to handle my emails. The problem is that most times I send an email with an attachment, the message sending fails. The larger the attachment the more chance of failure. If there are no attachments everything is OK, Has anyone else experrienced similar problems? Thanks MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 How big are the smaller attachments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMK Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Are you scanning outgoing attachments? Antivirus scanning either way can play havoc with attachments. Can you upload attachments another way, say from a web interface, without problems? Peter HiI am using Thundebird to handle my emails.

yeti Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 If this is recent, it may be due to the degradation of internet here following Taiwan earthquake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mosquitoman Posted January 9, 2007 Author Share Posted January 9, 2007 (edited) How big are the smaller attachments? The smaller attachments are say 25KB, once I get to 100KB plus, my messaging fails, however just occasioally I can send something as large as 500KB Are you scanning outgoing attachments? Antivirus scanning either way can play havoc with attachments. Can you upload attachments another way, say from a web interface, without problems?Peter No I dont use any antivirus software, and yes as soon as I use Gmail or Yahoo I can upload very easily, 1.5 MB+ no problems what so ever If this is recent, it may be due to the degradation of internet here following Taiwan earthquake. This was happening before the earthquake. Thanks for all the help MM Edited January 9, 2007 by mosquitoman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 What are the attachments? Go to Tools/options/advanced/ and click "config editor" scroll down until you see this line: mail.file_attach_binary If the setting is "false", right click, "toggle" and that should set it to "true". This will allow unknown file types to be sent as an attachment. (It won't forward attachments though) Down further see if the setting mail.inline_attachments is set to "true" Try that.

cdnvic Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 By the looks of that message it's the outgoing server that's rejecting the message. That's something you need to take up with your mail host as they may have some configuration issues on their end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
