We've had clients ask for large messages, but that's bigger than any I've
ever heard of. We offer them FTP sites as an alternative. Some
mail servers will not allow messages larger than 1Mb (total size). Often
customers on slow connections get timed out on these larger messages.
FTP avoids all of these problems.

more with a kind word and a
two by four,
than you can get with just a kind word."

Subject: [IMail Forum] message size
limits
We have a client that needs to send very large
messages - 7 to 8MB range. This client wants us to increase our
current maximum message size from 5MB to 10MB. This mail server
currently supports several hundred virtual hosts, with 2-3,000 users.
Does anyone have any experience with messages
of this size? Have they caused any problems for the mail server or
other users? We don't want to risk impacting any other clients by
increasing the size limit for this
client. We might be willing to
accept some throughput degradation when the large messages are being sent,
but not any impact on stability/availability. Anyone know if there
will there be any impact on other clients or the server itself?
Thanks,
David
