The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["McLaren, Terrence M" <address@concealed>]

We’re noticing the reply message from Sympa to the user fails to be sent to postfix when a sender sends an email that exceeds max file size limit.

error : Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytes

 

Sympa appears to try to send the message, throws an error and then files the message into the bad/ directory. 

 

--------

err mail::sending() Failed to store message for list blah

err List::send_file() List::send_file, could not send template /sympa/default/mail_tt2/message_report.tt2 to address@concealed

notice report::reject_report_msg() report::reject_report_msg(): Unable to send template 'message_report' to 'address@concealed'

notice Moving bad file address@concealed to bad/

---------

 

I checked permissions of the template and it has the same permissions as the others tt2 files.

-rw------- 1 sympa sympa  5184 Mar 21  2014 message_report.tt2

 

I also diffed the file with the distribution(6.1.23 & 6.1.24) and verified they are the same.

 

Has anyone else notice this behavior?  Any insight or help will be appreciated.
