The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Thomas Berry <address@concealed>]

I suggest setting a max message size in the email handlers configuration 
on your list server:


sendmail,(in sendmail.mc):

define(`confMAX_MESSAGE_SIZE', `26214400')


postfix (in main.cf):

message_size_limit = 26214400


Remember to reload the postfix or sendmail configuration.


There's also Sympa's max_size setting in /etc/sympa.conf.
