552 5.3.4 Message too big

Hi everybody,
Since some time I am getting this kind of error message in Outlook 2003 sp1
and I wondered what this is. I have read through the newsgroups and think
found the explanation but if possible I would like to receive a personnalized
response from one of the MVP's on this particular message so that I can
forward it to my ISP.

The heading of this message was just reading:

From : System Administrator
To:
Subject: undeliverable: (subject of the original message)

552 5.3.4 Message too big (maximum 1048576 bytes)

When I tried to go to the properties of the message I cannot see any details
(meaning from where the message was issued).

My ISP says it comes from Yahoo.... ; he says that 552 5.3.4 is none of his
server addresses. But it looks to me as if 552 5.3.4 is rather an error code
or am I wrong?

What can be done to correct the problem?

Thanks a lot for your help, MVP's.

Pk408adeb,

First how big is the message you are trying to send? From the error message
the max file size that this user can receive is 1048576 bytes.

Seems like what you are trying to send is beyond that.

Hi Serge,
Thanks for reacting. I checked the email and its size is 1 Mb. Most of the
email addresses are with yahoo.fr which allows emails with attachments of
upto 10 Mb.
So I don't think this is the problem.
Anyone else (maybe some MVP's coming online?????) have any idea????
Thanks in advance

It could be that your SMTP server won't transmit messages larger than the
value in the error message. WHat do you use for an SMTP server?
