Attaching file to autoresponder email.

[jan roos]

I am trying to attach a powerpoint presentation file to my autoresponder email but it says the file can't be larger than 400KB and my file is over 3000 kb Is there any other way I can get the file delivered to my list through my autoresponder? Hope that makde sense.

Cheers

Hello Jan

Your autoresponder must have a limit so the way round that would be to see if there is a setting you can change or a bit of code you can customize.

That said, many IPSs limit the size of attachment that can be received (typically 1Mb) so you could be setting yourself up for poor delivery.

Why not upload it to your server and put a link to it in your email?

Cheers,

Neil

Exactly what I was going to say. you can upload the file into a folder on your server and then link to the file like.... yourdomain.com/downloads/presentation.ppt

.....or

you can embed your presentation into a webpage and let your list watch it online.

Thanks for the help Neil but I only have squarespace blogs and wouldn't know how to upload it to my own server even if I had one. lol

Hello Jan

I just looked up the SquareSpace site and one of their features is:

Core module
File Storage. Our file storage module lets you serve up files and other structured content directly from your website

So it looks like you could do it - you just need to investigate how.

Cheers,

Have a look at the jing project Jing Project: Visual conversation starts here. Mac or Windows.

You could record the presentation on your computer then upload it to their servers and send out that link.

Long term I would highly recommend that you get your own domain and hosting, as then you can really start to build your own brand and online empire.
