well this could be an issue at your SMTP server or at the recipient mail server. In general most mail servers will limit the number and size of attachments and the overall size of the email, this done for good reason, as it is quite common for people to try sending HUGE attachments, which get stuck in their outbox and just keep sending over and over again. It can easily cripple a mail server is there were no such restrictions. As a general rule, assume that you cannot send an email bigger than 20MB
