Hi all i have one problem when i try to send one mail with one line with more than 5000 characters.
for example ..
ruby -e "5000.times {print 'a'}" | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
it is fine.. but
ruby -e "5001.times {print 'a'}" | sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
return :
534 Message header size, or recipient list, exceeds policy limit. sendmail: Unable to submit message.
You aren't generating a well formed message in that way. But investigating what you say, I agree. *ANY* line with a long size (header or body) causes this error message. It's OK to limit the length of the headers, but why courier imposes a limit in the body?
Because any message transferred over SMTP cannot have lines larger than 1022 characters.
Mr. Sam,
How does the SMTP limit of 1022 characters per line translates to Courier's limit of 5000 characters per line?
I'm asking this because if the SMTP limit of 1022 characters per line can be streched to 5000 characters per line, it might be streched further, can it? May be to a compile time configurable limit...
