how large of an attachment can most email servers receive?

[skim milk]

Through Gmail I'm sending pictures zipped files of about 10mb each which is the max for gmail

but I'm sending it to an email address of a relative and my emails were rejected due to its large size

it set by the server so it can vary. At work ehre they used to limit it to 5megs but recently increased it to 10. Lots of places set it at 2. All depends on wher eyou are sending.

Yahoo mail, you can send up to 20 meg.
