When I send any file through my email ID that is stayconnected@mudranam.in the receiver gets a message "MIME-Filter has removed this attachment"

Hello,

The receiver of my email does not get an attachment which I have send it to the user. Instead of getting the file type of attach a file it shows a message "MIME-Filter has removed this attachment. Filtered by filename: Lithophane offer.docx" How can get over this problem?

Thank You

What type of attachment is it?

Some mailing lists refuse ALL attachments, while some mail servers will filter out digital signatures, winmail.dat, even .zip in some cases.

Thank you for your reply. I use Thunderbird desktop application.

I usually send .pdf, .stl, .docx, .xlxs etc through my account.

How to send this kind of files through Thunderbird?

What is the total size of all attachments you try to send in one email ?

Try sending the same email to another account on a different server. Does it work ?

Such attachments are just sent as normal email attachments in Thunderbird, nothing special is needed.

Some email providers refuse email that include too big attachments. Perhaps you can use https://send.firefox.com/ for such special cases. When using this service, test the resulting link in private mode to make sure it is what you expect.
