How do I send attachments larger than 100K via WebMail ?
There are two settings that determine the size of a mail message. The first Mail Message Size in the config/mail.ini file is used by the SMTP server to restrict the size of any single mail message recieved by the server. By default, mail messages are restricted to 200K bytes of data (including attachments).

The second, less obvious, setting is the Maximum Content-Length in the config/config.ini file. This setting indicates the maximum size of any HTTP POST content recieved by the server. Since WebMail goes through the web server when sending messages to the SMTP server, this value must reflect the maximum message size you wish to send.
