Shalom,

sendmail mta could care less about attachments.

It just processes the mail. Its probably possible to configure it to limit attachment size but that would be noticeable in sendmail.cf

More than likely this problem is due to your mail reader. Example, my squirrelmail browser based reader will not open attachments bigger than 2 mb unless I change the configuration file for the product to permit a higher limit.

Thanks SEP,

thats means it is not my end problem.
coz we used to send lots of mails to our clients and our performace is based on to get less rejections.

If this is possible to configure attachment size in sendmail.cf , please give me that line which we have to change.

Manoj

Shalom,

Yes,

MaxMessageSize=1000000

For inbound mail you will need to restart the sendmail daemon.

If you are already using sendmail.mc macro's these will overwrite sendmail.cf if your script is right and will have to be modified as follows:

define(`UUCP_MAILER_MAX', `2000000')dnl

Additional configuration may be required. You need to also see if your ISP has limits because if you use their smtp servers what you do to your own server will cause problems.
