The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

100 MB. That's a big mail...
However, what Sympa tests is just the biggest packet it can store in your RDBMS. Sympa can handle any message size as long as the RDBMS can store a packet big enough (and such message size is allowed in the list configuration).
We will make this test parametrizable. It is not a big effort, though we won't do it right now as we are focused on releasing Sympa 6.0 stable. Please make a feature request on our tracker so that your suggstion is not forgotten.

This number is mainly a limit based on our own experience of email 
handling. Well, 21 MB is a respectable size for a message, most of the 
providers will probably reject messages based on limits lower than this one.
It sure could be a parameter instead of a hard coded limit, but as we 
thought it was the - really - highest acceptable message size before 
reaching a kind of traffic madness, we didn't feel necessary to make the 
size parametrizable, as once you have seen that the max allowed size on 
your domain is supported, you can still stop the script.
    

Hi,

the problem is that at our university, internal mail can be up to 100 MB
in size (medical researchers sharing huge images). It would be nice if
Sympa could handle that.

Sincerely,
M.W.
