Maximum attachment size

Post by ian »

Dear All
I'm sure I've seen it somewhere on the forum, but I can't find it now, so I'll ask it anyway: is it possible to change the maximum size of attachement that can be sent with an email on the bubba (one)? I've recently had a few emails not arrive due to the attachment size,and would like to change this to make sending email more reliable...

Cheers, Ian

You could use message_size_limit in /etc/postfix/main.cf for this. It's not there in the conf delivered with the Bubba, which means a default value of 10240000 bytes per mail.

and if you are sending via the web interface you should also look at the "upload_max_filesize" and "post_max_size" in php.ini

Thanks for both replies, have made the necessary changes. I sent a large email to myself, but it seems my ISP has a 15MB limit, so I'll try it with a smaller file....

Yes, there will also be a limit on your SMTP server. There are many better ways to share files than email anyway.

There sure are. But since my wife's sister sent photos of her first newborn as a mail and it got stopped because my postfix were set to not accept messages above 10MB I learned my lesson. My wife wasn't glad at all, so now my postfix accepts very large mails. Just to be sure.

That depends very much on the circumstances. Sending someone a small-ish video by email is much easier than uploading it somewhere and then telling them how to download it....
