I can't email photos on my iPhone

[rogercorke]

Every time I try to send an email from my iPhone with a picture attached it fails, usually with the dreaded "the server rejected one of the recipient's addresses. The message has been placed in your outbox." Sometimes, but not always, I can go to the outbox, open the draft email and send it again successfully.

There is nothing wrong with this particular recipient's email address. I can send emails to it without photo attachments with no problem. Anyway, it happens with every recipient's email address.

What is going wrong?

Is it always the same recipient? Or randomly any of them? If the same, do they have some junky email provider that has a crazy low attachment limit? Still seems dumb to stop the email for one person. Would think it would send, and then the daemon would yell at you that someone has an attachment limit.

No, it happens with every photo I send to whichever mailbox. They never go first time, though emails without photo attachments are fine. Sometimes I can go to the outbox in Mac Mail and resend them and it works. sometimes not. I've just tried resending the latest photo again and it still won't send and comes up with the same error message. And I'm sending this photo from an AOL mailbox to another AOL mailbox so there shouldn't be a problem there.
