Problem sending email with attachment

[#1]

The attachment is a 66MB pdf file.
Webmail tells me that it's greater than the 7MB limit - can that be changed?
Outlook 2010 informed me it was greater than the 20MB limit initially set and found a fix for that.
But when I send click Send the email goes straight to the Sent folder with the green progress bar appearing at the bottom only briefly. With an upload speed of only 1MB I would expect it to take over a minute to send.
I've never had such a problem with Outlook 2007 which is on the main PC but I only have the laptop at the moment so am a bit stuck.
Can anyone offer further advice, please.

Most Mail systems have an upper limit on File attachment size and 66 Meg is very likely to fail somewhere on route.
For a file that size using Dropbox might be more appropriate.

It's a document to Southern Electric so I may contact them on Monday to see if they will be prepared to download from something like DropBox.
I have been able to send files larger than that to some receipients using Outlook 2007 from my main PC at home.

Does the document need to be that big - are there graphics where you could reduce the resolution

Possibly, Oldjim. It's an 11 page scanned copy of the Power of Attorny in relation to my mother. I converted each 2.5MB page to pdf then joined them to form one document.
I will reduce the size of the jpegs then see what size pdf file they make. If still too large then will probably just send the jpges in a zip/rar file.

When you say you converted to a pdf I assume that you scanned as a jpg not as a pdf
In which case you could change the resolution of the pdf images when you convert them - this may be more useful

I used pdf Xchange Editor and dragged each jpg into a blank window then saved as pdf. Couldn't see any options to change the resolution.

If it is the product I think it is

I tried batch conversion using IrfanView from jpg to pdf but it failed to save for some reason.
I then used the batch conversion to reduce the dpi from 300 to 100 then converted to pdf with the resultant file being a more manageable 11MB.
That file was sent ok but was returned as undeliverable to the email address given so I reckon they have some miniscule limit as a text only email has been received without issue.

Don't forget that a file is considerably bigger when attached to an email because of the MIME encoding.

[#11]

Place the file on a web site or on free Cloud Storage such as SpiderOak [not Dropbox].
Then email a link to your file.

[#12]

How about sending ( say) 5 emails with just a few pages each to make up the total content?

[#13]

Plenty of options, thanks folks

Choosing Condoleezza Rice for Dropbox's Board is problematic on a number of deeper levels, and invites serious concerns about Drew Houston and the senior leadership at Dropbox's commitment to freedom, openness, and ethics. When a company quite literally has access to all of your data, ethics become more than a fun thought experiment.
