File too big to email in IPA

I have a 15MB file that I need to email. In designer (xml), I had no problem w/ file size. Now that I have converted my flow to IPA, I get a file too big error on the email node and it fails. Has anyone had this problem and how do I get around it? Thanks!

Here's the error:

The error could be issued by your mail server. I had a problem with file sizes and had to compress the file to get it to work. I would check with the person(s) who manage your mail server and see what the limit is. They allow an exception.

The reason I don't think it's the mail server is because it emails fine from designer (as an xml flow) which uses the same email server.

We had file that normally sent via email, then one day it stopped. What we didn't notice is that the file size went from 4.9 Mb to 5 Mb overnight and that was the limit for the firewall. We had to move to saving the file to a stored location and sending an email with a link to that location each time the file was updated. The exception is possible, but now our 5 Mb file is almost 10 Mb, and the shared location is working better.

You may be able to send the email through the designer because the flow is running under your account and you have a larger limit on the size of email you can send vs. the account, probably Lawson, that the flow is running when you run it from the server.
