What is the maximum file attachment size on Yahoo email?

What's the max size of a file i can send as "attachment" using yahoo mail?

  • I'm getting the following error when i'm sending an attachment of size 4.8MB - " Remote host said: 552 sorry, that message size exceeds my databytes limit "

  • Answer:

    The maximum size of a file attachment using Free Yahoo Mail! is 10MB. If you subscribe to Yahoo Mail Plus it is increased to 20MB. With regard to your error message, "Remote host" indicates that the mail message you are sending was actually sent out by Yahoo mail and reached its destination. However, it seems that the message recipient (remote host) rejected your email because the file you sent is too big. This type of error message is common for people who are trying to send file attachments to Yahoo Groups which has a smaller attachment limit (1-2MB).
