Hi all,
I have the latest (.76) version of Bill's toaster installed on a rh9 box, and some users of the system have been experiencing problems using outlook when attemptimg to send large file attachments.
When trying to send a 17MB attachment recently I got a typical result:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. Subject 'acrobat reader', Account: 'mail.aberfoylecomputers.com', Server: '192.168.100.1', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
ie. it just times out, taking a lot longer than expected (on the inside of the firewall this time, connection to the server is LAN - should only take about 10-20 seconds).
Is there a maximum message size limit? I have searched for similar problems,
and will keep searching, but if anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful
for some help.
There is no message size limit setup by default during installation. That is controlled by the /var/qmail/control/databytes file.
The only other limit I can think of is the softlimit program, called in /service/qmail-smtpd/run. Does anyone know if the softlimit needs to be higher than your databytes limit?
Regards,
Bill
