Limit on e-mail size?

All of a sudden, I can't send messages larger than 3MG. Is this an Entourage thing or do I need to check POP, ISP, server, or something else?

What happens when you try? Please be specific - do you get an error message,
does it freeze up, does a gremlin eat your computer?

Entourage has no designed limitation on the size of attachments, so it's
likely being caused by an intentional restriction by your ISP (if you're
getting a "message too big" error) or a poor connection (if it's timing
out).

That's your ISP. Talk to them.
