sven.kie...@compact.de:Hello,I found a small bug in the online documentation on this page: http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html The option "message_size_limit" is described as: "The maximal size in bytes of a message[..]",The documentation is correct. As the documentation says "maximal size in bytes of a message, including envelope information". The limit also includes headers that Postfix adds to the message such as Date:, From: and Received:.
Well, I have here an setup with message_size_limit being 21000000, which, by your math would calculate to: 21000000 bytes = 20507.8125 KiB = 20.027160645 MiB.
According to my math, where 8 bit equals 1 byte: 21000000 bit = 2625000 byte = 2563.4765625 KiB = 2.503395081 MiBWe clearly have set up a maximum message size limit of the latter (2.5 MiB). I don't get mail out of this system bigger than that.
Maybe I don't get it, or you use different representations of what is an byte or KB instead of KiB? If I'm seeing something wrong please point me to my failure. :-)
I noticed the part about the header, but we're talking about a difference of ~17 MiB. This large amount can't just be headers, can it?
Kind Regards Sven
