What do you mean by Unable to send 385kb? What is the error you are getting?

I mean the mail is not all delivering to the recipient. Simply i will get a "Sent Success" message but if i check in recipient gmail account it show empty inbox.

Attachment size limit is usually set by individual providers, there is no standard.

This file might be a .exe file. Gmail or Most of smtp does not allow to send Executuble files.
Gmail Allows Upto 25 Mb of Files.
