MAPISendMail: Failed to submit message. Attachments to the message exceeded the size limit set by your Administrator.

If there is a Key called MaxiumAttachmentSize then delete it or enter a value of 1000+. Setting it to zero appears to cause this error.

Increase the Outlook Attachment Size Limit
To change the size Outlook allows as a maximum for attachments to send:
- Press the keyboard shortcut Windows-R.
- Type "regedit" in the Run dialog.
- Click OK.
- Travel down the registry tree to the entry corresponding to your Outlook version:
- Outlook 2010: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\\Preferences.
- Outlook 2013: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\\Preferences.
- Outlook 2016: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\\Preferences.
- Double-click the MaximumAttachmentSize value.
- If you cannot see MaximumAttachmentSize:
- Select Edit | New | DWORD Value from the menu.
- Enter "MaximumAttachmentSize" (not including the quotation marks).
- Press Enter.
- Now double-click the MaximumAttachmentSize value you just created.
- Enter the desired attachment size limit in KB under Value Data:.
- To set a size limit of 25MB, for example, enter "25600."
- The default value (with MaximumAttachmentSize not present) is 20MB or 20480.
- For no attachment file size limit, enter "0." Practically all mail servers have a size limit, though, so "0" is not recommended; you would invariably get large messages back as undeliverable after an often long and fruitless uploading process.
- Ideally, the limit corresponds to your mail server's limit. Reduce the Outlook limit by some 500KB to allow wiggle room.
- Click OK.
