• I created a simple form in CF7 with multiple [file] tags like this:

    [file file-564 limit:209715200]

    I tried to upload 4 files of 10MB each. Uploading was successful and e-mail was sent. The problem is that the incoming e-mail had only 2 out of 4 files attached. I made some more test and that’s what I know:

    • All limits in media and server tabs in website status tool are set to something around 512M
    • I’m using WP mail smtp plugin with custom smtp mail service connected
    • I know for a fact that all attachments are being uploaded to server before sending (temp file)
    • I know that it isn’t a matter of number of files or files meta data
    • It seems like the total attachment weight is something around 20-30MB and everything more than that gets cut out of incoming email.
    • I tested sending e-mail to outlook and gmail clients, same result.
    • There’s no errors beside a warning for setting wight limit for single file too high

    Do you have any idea what could I check next to remove this hidden weight limit for attachments?

    I read this before. I understand that it’s not a good practice but it needs to be done in my use case.

    “if the size is over 25 MB it will warn you with this message.”
    it says that it will warn me about large attachment(which is understandable), but there’s nothing about silently cutting off too large attachments.
    if this behavior is planned then it should be mentioned in documentation at least.
