By default, DIME/ WSE 2.0 doesn't allow adding/sending attachments larger than 4096 KB of size. If you intend to send larger files, which are over the 4 MB limit (including the SOAP message), you need to add some tags to the web.config file of the service as well as, remember, of the receiver (client) end. You need to add values to override the values of the maxRequestLengths.

By the way, moving to MTOM is fairly easy, and I would suggest it as DIME is no longer supported in WSE 3.0.
