Fatal Error: Allowed memory size...

[gwhite]

When a user confirms from the email they are getting this message returned.  I have an attachment on the next email that goes out(welcome email), does it have to completely reside in memory?

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1066285 bytes) in /usr/local/www/vhosts/healthstatus.com/htdocs/hs_mail/mimepart.php on line 216

does it have to completely reside in memory?

I think it does... The file is read and the message is created.  The entire message needs to be held in a variable before sending.

I don't recommend sending attachments, especially large ones, as they can severely affect performance of the mail software.  Instead, I encourage including a link to the file hosted on your web site.
