Below you will see the wonderful response I have received from my ISP regarding this issue. They have passed the buck to Microsoft, yet I see it may be somewhat of a common problem based on searching this thread. Any assistance is greatly appreciated


Thanks for taking the time to write to NetZero e-mail support

I suggest you to contact Microsoft for getting further assistance in this regard

Thanks for using Netzero

I have verified my settings on my smtp outgoing set up. Additionally,
I extended the server time out to 5 minutes. Still, I am having issues
sending any attachment above 10k. The broken attachment option does
not apply in the outlook version I have, or at least based on the
instructions you supplied below
Sincerely
p.s. here is the what my errors shows when I try to send
Task '- Sending' reported error (0x8004210B) : 'The
operation timed out waiting for a response from the sending (SMTP)
server. If you continue to receive this message, contact your server
administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).

Hi,
I had the same problem with Outlook 2000, 2002 and am
having a similar problem with Outlook 2003!!
2003 Outlook leaves the message and attachment in the
Outbox of Outlook and does not appear to send it as it
does not go into the sent items.. I have waited various
lenghts of time to see what happens and sent messages
back to myself as a test.
I am on ADSL and with a 1mb attachment I left it for
approx 5 mins. and it still remaind in the outbox!! I
deleted the file from the Outbox and waited... and the
inbox then retured the message and attachment several
times!!! it is a good job I do not send large files to
friends at it appears that the messages are continually
sent.
I too have extended timeouts on Outlook but still have
the same problem.

Their must be a FIX somewhere!!
