I have to tell her, blindfolded, how to tell the size of the message she is sending. She uses btinternet's yahoo mailer, and I haven't a clue what she can see there. :-(On Thu, 2008-07-03 at 22:06 +0100, Anne Wilson wrote:My daughter needs to send me a large file. It appears that it is getting through my ISP, but being rejected on my CentOS mail server.

The following address(es) failed: anne@localhost SMTP error: 552 5.3.4 Message size exceeds fixed limit Reporting-MTA: dns; borg2.lydgate.lan I presume that this is a configurable limit, but I'm not sure where to look. Since it says MTA I'm thinking that it's probably postfix. Can someone please tell me what parameter I'm looking for? Thanks I have reams of documentation printed out. I'll start wading through that tomorrow, but time is of the essence with this one.---- # grep size_limit /etc/postfix/main.cf message_size_limit = 2560000000 mailbox_size_limit = 5120000000Anne
Just set it large until she sends you the file, and then set it back. How's that for blindfolded? -- MailScanner is like deodorant... You hope everybody uses it, and you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
