Generally, most servers don't allow messages above 3, 5, or 10MB due to the load it imposes on the server. The size of the email you are trying to send is huge, can you not break it up a bit? I manage mail servers in a Windows environment at work (so my Linux mail server knowledge is quite limited) and I am constantly having to explain to users why 50, 100, 500MB email messages are not being sent or received.
