Whats the biggest attachment I can send?
The CIT e-mail servers will accept messages up to 50 MB (including any attachments) between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and up to 100 MB at all other times. Our web-based e-mail clients have their own, smaller limits. • WebMail restricts you to 50 MB at all times. • The uPortal.Cornell e-mail channel restricts you to 3 MB at all times. Messages that exceed these size limits will be rejected automatically by CIT’s e-mail system. You should also know that when your outgoing message is encoded (transport encodings are the information that allows your message to be safely sent and read.), the size increases a bit. This means that, for example, an attachment that is only 45 to 48 MB in size may push the total message size above 50 MB. Before you send a large attachment, please also consider these other factors: • Many people outside of Cornell have very small mailboxes, especially people who use “free” e-mail services. Sending a large attachment is likely to fill up the mailbo
