What is the reason given for its deferral?

Depending on how large the attachment is, your friend may not be able to 
receive it.  It probably depends on the Lycos mail restrictions, and not 
your your mail server.  Your mail server has accepted the message, and is 
trying to send it, but it's probably Lycos' server rejecting it due to 
size.

You really shouldn't send large files via email, anyhow.  Different mail 
admins restrict the size of incoming messages, differently, and even if 
they allowed the large message through, often disk space restrictions and 
bandwidth restrictions on the recipient end can cause problems.

It's usually a better idea to make it available via http on a web site, 
and let the recipient pull it down that way.
