All else works to d/l to Kindle (free), but NYT fails after numerous attempts. Error message pasted below.

calibre, version 0.7.45

What SMTP configuration are you using?

SMTP settings: I'm using mail.ntelos.net w/o auth. It's POP3. Nothing unusual, standard port assignment that seems to work for everything.

Let me clarify something I may not have made clear though. The ONLY item that fails is the SUNDAY NYT; ALL other periodicals are transmitted perfectly to the Kindle ... including the weekday editions of NYT and the NYT book reviews. It is ONLY the Sunday paper that fails and not every time. All other Sunday papers I subscribe to transmit flawlessly.

You probably have a size limit on the attachments that can be sent via your mail server and the sunday nyt is too large. Switch to a free gmail account.
