Do you know MS Outlook has set a limit for attachments? If you are sending an email including attachments, make sure about the size limit. The basic size limit is around 20 MB by default which is set by MS Outlook.
MS Outlook 2010 has been designed to warn users for the size limit of attachments. If users try to send an attachment over the given size limit, MS Outlook 2010 generates an error message to prevent users to send big size attachments.
If your internet service provider allows you to make changes in MS Outlook, you can increase or decrease the size limit. You can take assistance from Registry Editor to make the desired size limit changes. In the Exchange Server, there is no need to make any changes because the server allows you to know your limit.
Below are steps to follow to change the size of attachments using Registry Editor.

In the search field write regedit
