There's another much more important limits on AWS SES that the article doesn't mention if you try to do this for normal email, the 10MB message size limit, which translates to about a 6MB maximum attachment size.
It works fine for transactional mail and most newsletters, but quite a few users expect to be email larger files than that.
- philliphaydon 5y agoThey shouldn’t. Most ISP email providers don’t support more than 10mb.
- edoceo 5y agogmail is 25MB, yandex is 30MB.
- philliphaydon 5y ago?!? I said ISP emails, which a lot of people still use. Outlook/Hotmail are 10mb though. And outlook client is 20mb received.
- edoceo 5y agoI'm only trying to help. Like, every PM has used gmail regard it as "normal" - so if you're different, you're abnormal. also, if your PMs listen to reason here's a site with a table https://www.outlook-apps.com/maximum-email-size/ https://www.outlook-apps.com/maximum-email-size/ which show the 10MB size at the low-end but still used by a huge carrier
- philliphaydon 5y agoSorry, I mistook your comment as asserting that because gmail supports 25mb then everything does. My bad.
- jeffbee 5y agoGmail is more than 25MB. It appears to be 150MiB.
