Welkom Meine! Glad to hear you enjoy using mutt. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here. If someone else has questions and you know (part of) the answer, your input is greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Remco

Found an option in my sendmail.cf which are commented out: # maximum message size #O MaxMessageSize=0 But, as you can see, they are not active. I think this should be a common way.

I would not like to run to every computer and configure a local limit if I can do so at a central point. The maximum size of a message that can be sent is the minimum size limit of the MTAs the message passes through. So your local sendmail may have no limit, but your smarthost or the remote MTA might, and in that case the remote server (which presumably is not under your control) is the one imposing the size limit. There is also the possibility of your connection having problems with prolonged uplink transfers. The easy way to test that is to simply upload a file of the same size as the message when encoded, to the server in question (be sure to disable any compression that may be in use), and see if that works. -- Michael Kjörling ..

Re: Hi all, is there anyone knows how to send bigger attachments
Thanks, and thanks very much for all of your tips. But the problem is still not solved :( I am really a Linux newbie, however, i do have the access to the system but I cannot find the configuration file . I use whereis sendmail to find the MTA and it seems to be a file named exim4. But that's just a file, I did not find anywhere to review the configuration. I tried man exim4 but got a lot of complicated parameters ... So do I need to locate a configuration file or just use a parameter to tell/modify the limitations of my MTA ?

But that's just a file, I did not find anywhere to review the configuration. ok, sendmail is just the interface. Its been the first mail server software so its binaries defined the standard interface. You could have a look in /etc/mail/ or maybe /etc/exim[4] if there are your config files. But, what we were trying to tell you, its very likely that your local machine has no size limitation for mails and its one of the other servers en route to your destinations mailbox. Have you looked at the header lines? Which server wrote the notification, that your mail was too huge? I tried man exim4 but got a lot of complicated parameters ... So do I need to locate a configuration file or just use a parameter to tell/modify the limitations of my MTA ? Exim4 on Debian uses /etc/exim4/exim4.conf. Have a look if you find the files. regards, Marcus

Thanks. But I am using a Linux system, and the file is just about 6M. I am just curious that where can I find the so-called system restriction ? Would u please give me some further tips ?

The file which was opening correctly had base64 encoding and the one which was not had quoted principle. It seems mutt is picking up the content transfer decoding by default on the basis of file size. If some one could be where to default the base64 encoding in the muttrc or in the .mimetype and with what syntax. Hi, I don't know how mutt chooses the encoding type for an attachment, and I don't know why quoted-printable isn't working for you, but you can change the encoding type from the Compose menu with the edit-encoding command, bound by default to ^E.
