E-mail size issue on a Linux server 2.1

[Jorge Cocomess]

Greetings,

I had an e-mail with an attachment larger than 30 MB in size and failed to send through our exchange box. Where do I look for to retreive this message and send it again once I increased the receive limitation on my exchange server??

Please help. I must get this file back.

Thank you in advance.

If the mail was rejected, it won't be queued. You must send the message from the start.

Messages are queued if cannot be delivered because of a network problem, they are not queued if are rejected.

These are cron jobs and they setup to to email me with the output file. Now, the file was too big, therefore, the Exchange server rejected the email coming from the Linux server. All I need to know is, where do I look for the output of the file if the e-mail was rejected due to size limitation?

Can someone help me find this output??

By the way, I'm using sendmail running RHAS 2.1 -- I would also like to know is there a default message size for outgoing and incoming for sendmail? If so, where do I adjust this value?

Thank you!!

By default, mail size is not limited, but you can check /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

# O MaxMessageSize=0


By default is commented to no limits apply.

Great! Atleast I'm on the right track. Now, how can I retreive the output that was supposed to piped via e-mail but was rejected due to teh size of the message? I looked all over and not finding it.

Can you help?

Thanks for your time.
