Certain emails w/ PDF attachments don't go through to recipient. But only some.

Every once in a while, one email with small PDF attachments (not big enough to hit the 20MB limit) will not go through to the recipient. Even if it shows up in my sent mail, the recipient doesn't receive it on their end. Seems to be sporadic. Any one have any ideas? Would greatly appreciate any advice. Thanks

That's just normal for e-mail. Keep trying until it goes through. Sometimes I have even put junk files inside a ZIP archive just to make it big enough to trigger Mail Drop. But sometimes even that doesn't work. I get a reply back from the recipient saying they can't get the attachments and the reply includes my quoted messages with the links right there.
