Many thanks John. I have tried sending a pure text message with a large text only body. It has been truncated too. All messages regardless of type or attachments appear with a total file size of 70 Kb. Message content is limited to 47Kb. Attached is a screen shot of the configuration.
Here is log message: note the S=67197 - this value is similar but does vary some. 2006-10-26 10:40:29 J7QIRH-000428-FA <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=tid.hi.inet (tid) [10.95.64.10] P=esmtp S=146989 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-10-26 10:40:30 J7QIRH-000428-FA => |/home/mailman/mail/mailman.exe post test-list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> R=system_aliases T=address_pipe 2006-10-26 10:40:30 J7QIRH-000428-FA Completed 2006-10-26 10:40:32 J7QIRK-00035C-O4 <= [EMAIL PROTECTED] H=localhost (kitano.hi.inet) [127.0.0.1] P=esmtp S=67197 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-10-26 10:40:33 J7QIRK-00035C-O4 => [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H=tidos.tid.es [193.145.240.2] X=TLSv1:RC4-MD5:128 2006-10-26 10:40:33 J7QIRK-00035C-O4 -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=dnslookup T=remote_smtp H=tidos.tid.es [193.145.240.2] X=TLSv1:RC4-MD5:128 2006-10-26 10:40:33 J7QIRK-00035C-O4 Completed 2006-10-26 10:43:49 Start queue run: pid=1952 2006-10-26 10:43:49 End queue run: pid=1952 We have no mime filters set.
