Hi all, sometimes I get errors "523 Message length exceeds administrative limit." otherwise I just get "534 SIZE=Message too big."
I guess the latter only happens when the sender politely says MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=10485761 to inform the server of the size. I have no sizelimit file and no SIZELIMIT setting, I can successfully send to myself a 7Mb attachment, however I found the above 523 message for a file of only 3707563 bytes. How come? I'm running 0.39.3 with a global filter installed: I know the size of the message because the filter had already refused it (because it was a partial zip that it could not scan for viruses). It sounds quite strange that the administrative refusal came after antivirus blocking. Is that a known fact or should I investigate how it happened? AFAIK, the default limit is 10Mb for the size of received messages. However the esmtpd has an ULIMIT set to 4096 (4096 what? Kb?). Does that imply anything except memory allocation strategy?

Courier rejects larger messages. If sizelimit is set to zero, Courier accepts as large message as available disk space permits. If the environment variable SIZELIMIT is set at the time a new message is received, it takes precedence and Courier uses the contents of the environment variable instead. Changes to this file take effect immediately. The SIZELIMIT environment variable is for use by individual mail submission agents. For example, it can be set by the smtpaccess configuration file (see makesmtpaccess(8) for more information) for mail from certain IP addresses. If sizelimit does not exist, and SIZELIMIT is not set, the maximum message size defaults to 10485760 bytes. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
