This is the default postfix configuration, and it has not change since ages. For example on 8.0 8.1 8.2, you have the same restriction : (8.2 system here:) 07/06 12:18 yves@katu ~% postconf | grep size bounce_size_limit = 50000 header_size_limit = 102400 mailbox_size_limit = 51200000 message_size_limit = 10240000 07/06 12:19 yves@katu ~% rpm -q postfix postfix-20010228-20mdk You can change this settings in /etc/postfix/main.cf be aware that a attached file of 2Mb cost 4Mb in term of message size. SMTP was not design to transfert file.. one day the SMTP Service Extensions for Transmission of Large and Binary MIME Messages <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3030.html> will be implemented everywhere. -- Yves Duret [EMAIL PROTECTED] piouk toujours et meme apres !
