Hi all,
On my mailman server I have:
General Options
max_message_size 10K
Content filtering
collapse_alternatives Yes
convert_html_to_plaintext Yes
I posted OK to a list with
Mime-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
size (stripped of all headers & list footer) 4087 bytes
A reply was trapped by Mailman with admin page showing draft reply:
Your message was too big; please trim it to less than 10 KB in size.
The sender had used:
User-Agent: Roundcube Webmail/1.3.7
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
Sender had only added maybe a K or so of text, but I presume her adding
the bloater of HTML via multipart/alternative caused her to be caught.
If that supposition is correct ?
Moving the size checking to after stripping would be nice,
( I dont care how much discardable HTML the server receives from an
individual, but I do care max size of messages server stores
in archive, & sends to all on list)
but moving the count would be work.
An easy quick fix would be to extend the description of max_message_size
to inform admins the effect of the limit can be variant, eg extend
From
Maximum length in kilobytes (KB) of a message body.
To
Maximum length in kilobytes (KB) of a message body,
(counting all bulk in multipart/alternative [before
that bulk may later be trimmed by collapse_alternatives
&/or convert_html_to_plaintext]).
Comments ?
Cheers
