Here's a follow-up to an old topic... The "beeping" phenomenon is back. It choked on a 1.6MB email on Friday. Nothing special about the email, that I could tell. There was also a 64MB email in the inbox, but it just skipped over it and didn't try to download it. It did print a message saying "Message too big" and went on to the problem email. I'm not sure what it was doing, but it tried to print the 1.6MB email to the console, which is what caused the beeping. Any ideas why it would do that? And why is it printing that sort of character? It's obviously not printing just the raw email, because if I remember correctly raw emails don't contain control characters (such as the "beep" character).
Yes, the 64MB email is outrageously large, but a 1.6MB email doesn't seem particularly large. I can't imagine that OTRS should ever choke on an email of that size. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Win2K, running OTRS 1.1.3. Every once in a while OTRS will choke on emails over 2MB, but normally it at least is good up to 5MB. Above that, it's pretty much guaranteed to choke. With the 19MB email, we discovered the problem because OTRS was trying to print the email to the console window, causing our server to beep like crazy. -- Chris Salter -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Covert, Jake Sent: August 5, 2003 9:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [otrs] PostMasterPOP3.pl It was on a Win2k machine, being run by mstask.exe (Microsoft's task scheduler), so I'm now suspicious that it might have been the culprit. -----Original Message----- From: Yong Li [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 05, 2003 8:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [otrs] PostMasterPOP3.pl > "Covert, Jake" wrote: > > Once of my customers was gracious enough to try and email us a 30 Meg > file as an attachment.

There is one default limit of 6M of email size in Default.pm: # --------------------------------------------------- # # # # Start of config options!!! # # PostMaster stuff # # # # --------------------------------------------------- # ... # PostMasterPOP3MaxSize # (max. email size) $Self->{PostMasterPOP3MaxEmailSize} = 1024 * 6; So PostMasterPOP3.pl should handle (skip) it, but I have no idea of why it hung...
