Hi everyone. I'd just like to take the time to point out that in the
last several days there have been several messages which have been
rejected based on size. When writing or replying to a message it's
important to rememder that if the message is too big it will not go
through. Below are some key points to remember. Also, if you have any
questions on this topic please write [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead
of replying here.
1. If your message is a reply please trim the extra lines. Usually a
good practice for this is to only quote the person who you are replying
to. Example, if there is a topic about checkers and there 5 messages and
you reply to the newest, by simply replying you are adding your message
and if you include the whole quoted thing you are including the first 5
messages. However if your reply only is in reference to the last person
who wrote then it makes sence to erase everything after that person's
message.
2. No one wants to tell anyone how to write emails or in what format,
however one thing to take into account is if your email client is
sending out html messages what usually happens is the message is
actually sent in two parts. part 1 is the html message and part 2 is the
text attachment. Our mailing list software strips out the html message
and sends the text version to the list. However the size check is done
before the html message is stripped off. What this means is if your
message is say, 5 or 6 k in size normally, the added html code will make
it much bigger. Our mailing list software won't know the difference and
your message might be rejected. So, short fix is to simply not use html
messages and instead send text only.
We realize of course that either people don't want to just use text
messages or they don't know how to change it or they cannot change it
from their client. In cases like this we try to allow messages through
if we can determine the reason for the extra size. If the message is
obviously large due to lack of trimming old quoted messages then it's
rejected. But if the message would have most likely passed through
except for the html junk in it, then we'll let it go through.
All the best.
