email file size - upload
Why is the limit 28,672,000 bytes for an attached file when I am sending an email? Can it be larger? 28 MB is not very much

Our email server actually has a size limitation of 20 MB, including attachments, for each e-mail.
However, this does not mean that an email with a 20 MB attachment can necessarily be sent. When binary file attachments (basically anything except for text) are sent, they are converted to a text format. This conversion increases the file by roughly 35%. A 14 MB attachment can be sent, and the message will be 19 MB after the conversion.
If files larger than this are sent, an error message will be received, with information about the size of the file that was attempted to be sent, and what the limitation is.
