Hi all,
I'm trying to send an email with an attachment. How my workflow works is it creates an excel spreadsheet for my QA-QC of the data. It then sends an email with the created excel spreadsheet.
Is there any reason why the email wont send with attachments? The size is less than 25 mb.
Thank you,
David

In your workspace, the feature from the FeatureMerger (UnusedSupplier port) coud arrive in the Emailer before the Excel file (summary report) creation has completed. To guarantee that the summary report is created before the Emailer running, consider using the FeatureWriter to write it. If I'm correct, this workflow would be a workaround.
Possibly the additional FeatureMerge (unconditional merging) in the screenshot above may not be necessary in FME 2018, since the new FeatureWriter in 2018 would have an output port which outputs the input features.
Hope this helps.
To clarify the situation, could you check these points?
Hi Takashi,
1) When an attachment is placed in the source file under the attachment section, it goes into the rejected port. However, without the attachment the email goes through.
2) The workflow runs successfully, but the email goes to the rejected port
3 and 4) The sender's address is fine because without an attachment I receive an email.
Also, I CAN attach a file and receive an email as long as the Excel file does not get updated. In the workflow I create an excel spreadsheet and updates every time it runs. Then the email attaches (should attach) to be replaced and attached to the email.
Attached is the workbench.
Thanks,
David

I'll just add that 25MB is still considered very large for an email attachment, are you sure it's not the mail server that's rejecting your mail because of your attachment?
I've had very mixed experiences with attachment weighing more than 10MB, most often it won't work.
