I am not sure anyone can help with this, but I thought I would ask. I use outlook on my desktop to send a Veteran Newsletter (.pdf attachment) to 350 folks each quarter. This has worked for many years. I am using Comcast.net.

As of Sept 30, 2022, I can send the email with attachments and no error is reported. However, not one person receives the email. If I go to the web based comcast email and send the email with attachments, it is not received. However, if I send the same email with attachments using my Gmail account in Outlook the email is received.

I have spent three days and opened two tickets with comcast and still no luck.

By the way, if I send email to the same folks with no attachments, they receive it simply fine.

I suspect comcast is the problem and not Outlook, but I thought I would post the problem here in case anyone has a clue as to what I can do to fix the situation.

Thank you for your time.

Okay, I found out that if I attach the file as a .docx it goes through with no problem. But if I convert it to .pdf it does not go through. Totally baffled at this point.

Issue resolved. The problem was a corrupted Word Document that looked fine. It also converted to PDF fine. What I did was open the .docx file and save it as .rtf. Then I opened the .rtf file and saved it as a new .docx file. Some formatting was messed up, but it converted to .PDF fine and emailed fine.

Not enough storage space
If the e-mail box is full of other e-mail messages and your storage space is limited to only a few megabytes, the attachment cannot be received. E-mail programs and e-mail service providers automatically reject incoming e-mails if there is not enough space available to store the e-mails.

This May Help,
Peter
