Re: Can't make SquirrelMail have chosen attach size. Why?

Hello! Thank you for the answer, Dave.

That's a possibility. But the fact that Squirrelmail configtest doesn't say there is something wrong, in my opinion it is something to be improved, at least. I run the test after configuring all possible aspects, including IMAP (or POP, although there is none today) and SMTP details.

Further, I think it is not using postfix to send messages, since it access external SMTP servers. For example, there is one setup for Yahoo accounts (use the server smtp.mail.yahoo.com). From SM's configure, I set it to use SMTP, and not sendmail (which I assume is where postfix would come in, as my own SMTP server, in this machine). I didn't think Yahoo's SMTP server would limit attachments to 2 MiB. and I have tested these limits the other way, and I looked in SM source code for "hints" of what/where to look. Still can't see clearly what is the problem. Using Thunderbird as a mail client, Yahoo's SMTP sends 10MiB+ big attachments, so it is possible Squirrelmail doing it too.

The global files you pointed here should not apply to me because: being global, I cannot change them, and an user dependent limit should be either known/discoverable or changeable, within it. My /etc/php5/ folder only contain two folders, and no hidden files. Its full listing gives just these files:

./cli/conf.d
./cli/conf.d/10-pdo.ini
./cli/conf.d/20-json.ini
./cli/conf.d/20-readline.ini
./cli/conf.d/05-opcache.ini
./cli/php.ini
./mods-available/pdo.ini
./mods-available/opcache.ini
./mods-available/readline.ini
./mods-available/json.ini

And this php.ini file contain 3 "important" values I have seen in other places:

post_max_size = 8M
upload_max_filesize = 2M
memory_limit = -1

So, the 2M is the same as the limit I have. But if phpinfo() running from Squirrelmail folder shows different (bigger) values, why can't Squirrelmail feel this difference? I have followed its install instructions and made the configtest. I have made upload scripts to receive bigger upload.

Right now I did:

- configure SqM to use an SMTP server
- check the used SMTP server sends messages with bigger attachments
- check that my server setup allows uploads with more than 2MiB
- follow SqM install instructions and made a configtest as the last setup step, no problem pointed

Still no change.
