Sounds like its too big for the recipients server. Save the attachment to
your hard drive, zip it then send the zip. Or, if you have access to a web
server, upload it and send the link.

Or the size of the e-mail (that the user is trying to send) exceeds
the message size quota enforced by their e-mail provider. Hard to
know if "not delivered" means the sender's own mail server rejected
the e-mail because it was too big, if the recipient's mail server
rejected the e-mail because it is too big, or there isn't enough free
disk space remaining in the disk quota for the recipient's mailbox to
receive any e-mails of that size. geo never actually showed what was
the error but chose to describe it instead.
