I also think attachments are base64 encoded, which can almost double the 
size of the attachment in the email. Thus, I would increase php memory 
limit to twice the attachment size plus whatever you think the scripts 
etc. will use. 220MB is a lot and could cause problems if there is a lot 
of activity on the server.
