Email Attachment Limit Increased

Here’s some good news: we have increased the size limit of a single piece of email, including attachments, on the Adhost mail servers to 25 MB.

We still encourage you to use links in emails to large files rather than attaching them to email. For example, you can upload the files to your Web site directory or we can set up an FTP directory for you. Besides having the advantage of making smaller email, that also gives the recipient more choices as to when to download it or if they want the file at all.

Also, note that many mail transfer agents (MTA) continue to have size limits and just because we allow larger email sizes doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be successfully delivered to a non-Adhost mail server.

Holiday Hours

The Adhost Business Office will be closed on Thursday, December 25 and Thursday, January 1 for the Christmas and New Year's holidays; however, our technical services office will be on our regular 24 hour schedule. You can reach technical support by telephone at 206-404-9500 or 1-888-323-4678 or by email at support@adhost.com.

We wish you all a happy and healthy holiday season. If you’re in the Seattle area or another snowy location, we hope you keep warm and safe during this unprecedented weather.
