CFMail attachment size problem

[CFChrisS]

I have a customer who wants to attach 8MB files to emails but he said there seems to be a 1MB limit.  Can anyone help me figure out where I can change the attachment size limit?  Using CF8, no size limit on mail server.

You can always use rar.exe the the 'v' param to specify the size you want in them and then just loop over and send them out one by one.

I will give that a go.  Is there anywhere where the default size is preset by chance?

I suspect your attachment size limit is either dictated by your mail server or in your CF code that creates the mail or handles the file upload.  I haven't run into an upper size limit for attachments using CFMAIL nor is a size limit mentioned in the CF docs (that I can find).

Additional question and comment

Is there information in the ColdFusion log related to the problem emails?  You may want to increase the logging level on the Mail settings page in the CF admin.

Bob,

I figured out what the issue was, it was the size limit set to 2MB in SMTP

in IIS. I appreciate your responses.
