Hi Guys,
Just installed and configured Postfix+Dovecot+squirrelmail on SUSE10.3, how do i set the attachement limit to like 50MB?
i have tried to change the 'message_size_limit' parameter but that hasn't changed anything.
Any help would be Appreciated.

Did u restart the postfix service after making the changes. This is the only parameter by which attachment size limit can be set.

By default limit is 10MB. You can change the limit using postconf command. To check the current limits you can run

postconf -d | grep message_size
It will show you the size in bytes.
To change the value
Run
postconf -e 'message_size_limit = 20000000'
postconf -e 'mailbox_size_limit = 100000000'

This will accept messages of sizes up to 20000000 bytes, and the max. mailbox size is then limited to 100000000 bytes. Use whatever values you like. Restart Postfix afterwards:
/etc/init.d/postfix restart

Hi,
i've changed that parameter for like 5 times now with different values and i make sure i reload postfix every after change but the limit has remained 2MB.
Could you be knowing why?

as you're using squirrelmail which is written in PHP you have to edit php.ini and change upload_max_filesize = 20M

restart apache after that

Hi,
thanks man. that really worked out. U Rock.
