OK I run several mail servers and I do have problems but of another kind that you describe. But this one is a bit ridiculous:
> When you need to explain to people why they can't send you that 100 MB video attachment which they sent to other people just fine but only your address is bouncing and why don't you fix your email already.
The maximum attachment size for Gmail is still conservative 25 MB and they basically dictate what is currently to be expected in terms of attachments going through.

- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoOK, so I tried to test it in practice, starting from 120 MB down to 25 MB. The largest that went through had 35 MB; the larger ones bounced with: > Remote Server returned '552-5.2.3 Your message exceeded Google's message size limits. Please visit 552-5.2.3 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=MaxSizeError https://support.google.com/mail/?p=MaxSizeError to view our size 552 5.2.3 guidelines.
- TimWolla 5y agoThat makes sense, because the attachment is going to be base64 encoded within the email and thus the size is inflated by 33%. This results in the size being roughly 47 MB in size.
- AshamedCaptain 5y agoYou can easily search around that the Gmail limit for personal users is 50MiB, recently enlarged from 25 MiB. As the other poster says, even between Gmail accounts I still have trouble sending files larger than 30MiB.
