There are several... the one which seems to trip up most people isn't the
one you'd expect.

In your php.ini, there is a setting for memory_limit and max_execution_time.
 Add 1.5 times your maximum attachment size to the current value of
memory_limit, and take the transit time of the largest attachment size you
conceivably want to allow sent over a dialup modem, and make that time
estimate your max_exec time.

Keep in mind that binary attachments expand by 33% due to base64 encoding.
