I'm trying to send an email with a 4.7MB attachment (zip file, with a single file within) which is getting bounced by iCloud.com (554 5.7.0 Message Size Violation).
Looking at the limits, I should be able to send/receive email with attachments up to 20MB? Why is this email being bounced because of its size?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache.
Quit then relaunch Safari, login to iCloud.com.
See if you can open an attachment.
If that didn't help, go to Safari / Preferences then select the General tab.
At the bottom of that pane select: Open "safe" files after downloadiing
Quit then relaunch Safari. Try again.
Pvonk's answer makes no sense to me. If the file can't be sent, how can the attachment be in iCloud? And, the original poster didn't say he was using a web browser to send the file. I'm sending as an additional account within gmail using icloud's smtp server, and I get this error. Anybody have a solution for this?
Seems to me that I'm getting same error when I'm sending a zipped file containing many folders and files inside...
It's only 2.8MB .ZIP.
No problems if I send an even bigger jpeg image.
Weird.
The same thing happened to me today. I'm trying to send a 15MB app as is and also tried it as an 8MB zip file. I get the "Message Size Violation". It's iCloud to iCloud, and we're both on Yosemite, so 5GB should be the upper limit! I have no idea whats going on. Anyone?
Had this issue with a Numbers document. Sometimes they trigger this error. After duplicating it and saving it as a package (instead of a single file), it worked.

Did you ever fix that? I have the same issue with .zip files.
I'm having the same exact problem... Does Apple even care?
