If the sending source is using ESMTP then sendmail can set MaxMessageSize in sendmail.cf to reject the attachments based on total message size. Not foolproof but is a start. On Monday 27 August 2001 22:13, Andrew Mathews wrote: > Alan Jackson wrote: > > > > Yeah, I just got a 6 Mbyte file in

Well, I stand corrected. Jbl did include sr_mod, but they built it into the kernel. So, are you ready for this, you need to 'append hda=ide-scsi' to make it work! We had that long discussion about this no longer being necessary on 2.4.x kernels, and I certainly don't need it on my gentoo system

Are you talking about the partitions, or the physical drives? If the drive recognition in Linux isn't matching reality, then you've got a BIOS issue. If its a partition issue, then its a Linux and/or BIOS problem. Either way, first stop should be in the BIOS to see how the drives are recognized
