Sending Large Attachments

I have no problem receiving emails with large attachments, but when I try to
forward, or attach a large file to a new email, it won't leave the "outbox"
or won't send at all. If it does send, it will continue to send numerous
times until I remove it from the outbox. Most of these files are 5-6 MB.

What can I do? I am only having this problem with Vista, as far as I know.

I'm going to guess that you have an Anti-Virus software that is putting hooks
into Outlook and scanning incoming and outgoing mail. Disable that functionality
and you should be good.

Perhaps your ISP has a send limit?

I have to agree with what f.h. posted. Disable your AV email scanning
