Cool Mail Attachment size


Hi guys:
I want to know about how to configure the maximum attachment size?.

Take Mail servers : Sendmail, Qmail and Postfix
Maximum size : 10MB
Download : with virus checking like Yahoo(example).

Please guide me


Regards

Hi,

Add this to your sendmail.mc file

define(`confMAX_MESSAGE_SIZE', `10000000')dnl

and then re-generate sendmail.cf

I'm not sure what you mean by "Download : with virus checking like Yahoo(example)", but if i got it correctly, one approach you can use for checking virus in all emails delivered by/to your mail server would be to find an antivirus (don't know if there's a free one that does this) that works as an smtp proxy and delivers to your sendmail (or any other server you might be using). This has the advantage of always working even if you decide to change MTAs.

Hope this helps.

For virus checking, you'll want to look into Amavis and ClamAV. Additionally, you may want to use SpamAssassin.
