Incoming mail attachments over 1MG fail
 

Hi Guys

I'm running SuSE 11 with sendmail and dovecot.

I'm sending and receiving mail. But as soon as someone sends me a mail with an attachment over 1mg it seems to fail. I have no problem sending
big attachments.



Kind Regards Juan

You mean megabyte MB not MG.
And, Can you recieve large attachments through any other mail program?

The dovecot program is configured to reject large incoming attachments. I tried to find out how to change that, but he dovecot site was not responding.

Dovecot is a POP3 and/or IMAP daemon. It delivers mails to you when you log in.

Incoming mails are handled by a SMTP daemon, in your case sendmail.
So change the sendmail configuration to the new limit.

Hi

Sorry i ment MG .... i have made chages to /etc/sysconfig/sendmail.. Didn't seem to work ? Didn't know that dovecot is configure to reject large attachments... could dovecot be the reason ?

You can find some help Here.

Hi

I have looked at that post that's more sending mail. My problem is receiving and i have edited that line to 10MB.And it didn't make a difference on receiving mail.

Wiki for dovecot configuration Here. There is an option to resize dbox. See if that helps you.
