We do our best to explain to customers that emailing files larger than 2 MB's is bad form because not everyone has high speed access. The best method for everyone is to have them upload the file to a web server and provide a link to it. It's also WAY faster to download via http.
File size X 1.3 is about the size when it gets emailed though.

I have a customer that has been complaining that he cannot send a 7MB file. After going around in circles with the customer about overhead, and the email content and that the size limit is the sum of the email content and attachment and overhead, I decided to try sending a few to a test account under his domain. I started with smaller attachments and worked my way up. I was able to send a message with a 4.3MB pdf attached but the message was bounced when I attached a 5.4MB pdf as 552 message size exceeds maximum message size. Is there anything I'm missing here? The logs show delivery as status=2 but I don't see any detail about the actual size it's reading for the email. Is there another way I can troubleshoot this?
