system.webmail attachment size restriction for non admin

I have a framework console application being used to send a file as an
attachment. The application works fine running as any user until the
attachment size gets above about 100K. An administrative user can send an
attachment of any size but normal users seem to be limited to 100K. When a
larger attachment is sent, there are no exceptions generated, and there is an
attachment to the resulting email but the attachment is empty.

Thanks in advance-

Just a guess but...Maybe a temp file is needed to be created and it fails.
Maybe access to the temp directory associated with the ASPNET profile? I had
something similar going on using the Jet Engine that required access to this
directory...

Here's another guess (less likely than Brad's but worthwhile IMHO
nontheless). Is it possible the user you're signing in with has attachment
limitations? I run my own mail server and I know I can set the size limit
on attachments by user. It's a stretch I know, but possible.

Good luck.
 
Brad-

Thanks for the quick reply. I have added full permissions for users and
ASPNET to both the "Temporay ASP.NET File" folder under
\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\V1.0.XXXX\, and the \WINNT\TEMP folder,
Haven't rebooted yet but this does not appear to have made a difference.

Any other thoughts?

Nope, that isn't it as I have sent these message through different mail
servers having the same issue and I have no such restrictions in place.

DOH! I'm a newbie, so I'll be keeping an eye here for other suggestions and
learning like you. Sorry I couldn't help out any more than this. :<

Good luck.
 
Hi Greg PPI,

I think the answer to your problem is that some webmail systems have limits
to how much you can send in your attachments. For example, Hotmail has file
limitations for attachments and if I want to send a jpeg photo to a friend
then I'm only allowed to send 4 or 6 depending on the size of those jpeg
files. Try not to send large picture files and just stick to sending document
files, personally I find .doc files easier to send as attachments then PDF,
JPEG or TIFF files. The other thing that discourages me from sending large
files is the amount of time used to send them, for instance, one jpeg image
will sometimes take over 5 minutes to process but on the other hand, there's
not many other webmail systems that are as efficent than Microsoft Hotmail.
On that note, I'll leave it at that. All the best!
