Hi,
Manually edit dnews.conf (Located in your System32 directory), and add or
change -
item_max 8000000
If this is the last line in dnews.conf, add a blank line below it to ensure
dnews applies the setting when restarted.
You might want to set this value to 2097152 to limit posts to 2MB. Remember,
this size is the total size for the article after encoding, so if you need
to attach 2MB files, you will need to make this value about 33% larger.
If that doesn't work, send us dnews.conf to check. Thanks,
- Roydon L.
