Attachments causing email not to send

[rmtimmah]

I am using Outlook 2003. When I creat an email with more than 3 attachments
(each attachment is only about 100-200kb) it causes the email to stall in the
outbox and not send. Or if I have an attacthment larger than 3mb this error
also happens. My ISP allows 10mb limits on emails so I can't figure out why
this happens. Sometimes when I get the error the recipient gets the email
fine but I don't know that until they receive it 50 times and tell me to stop
sending it. HELP!!!!!

What is your server timeout set to? Set it to the maximum for large mails.
