 Posted: Sun Jun 02, 2002 6:25 am Post subject: Postfix problem when sending big attachment with mutt |
 |
|
postdrop: warning: uid=1000: File too large
sendmail: fatal: tuxisuau@7a69ezine.NOSPAM.NO.NO.org(1000): Message file too big
(trying to send a mail with mutt. I've got postfix as the MTA)
Any idea? I did take a look at the postfix config, but found nothing... i really need to be able to send big files :/. |

there's a ~10Mb size limit, from http://www.postfix.org/resource.html :
| Quote: | message_size_limit (default: 10240000 bytes)
The maximal size of a Postfix queue file, including envelope information (sender, recipient, etc.).
|
If this is not the problem then I don't think this is a postfix error. Maybe the targeted smtp server doesn't allow such a big file (limitation / his mail box is full). Try sending it to another mail-address.
Or maybe the partition where /var/spool/postfix resides is full.

| That solved my problem. I'll have to learn to read manuals correctly (not with /regexp like i always do). |

Well I like flipping through manuals with /regexp, because I never bother to RTFM,  .
Btw. Usually internet (google) is a far better, well quicker, way of solving your problem then RTFM.
