The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Widerski, Betty" <address@concealed>]

Hi –

 

We are POCing a 6.2 installation on RH Linux with the idea of replacing our Majordomo server. I am trying to find the appropriate max_size number to allow posts to be sized up to about 10MB including binary attachments. I am aware that the binary-to-mime conversion increases the post size. With Majordomo I determined that setting its maxlength to 13900000 resulted in acceptance of about 10MB original sized PDFs etc.

 

We originally had Sympa max_size = 10485760  - this has allowed posts of about 6.2MB PDFs

 

I’ve now upped max_size to 20971520 – this is still insufficient to allow an 8MB PDF.

 

I first tried changing the max_size in a specific list send/receive config, then changed it globally in sympa.conf and restarted sympa and wwsympa and teted a list getting the default max_size.

 

Do you allow posts of 10MB, and if so what is your max_size?

 

Thanks

Betty
