SMTP delivery can be difficult to debug if the message 
is too large for the recipient's E-mail.  Here are the 
relevant parts of the log- my Imail server is 
mydomain.com trying to send to receiver.com.

   So far so good; it's queued up.

   Here's the last trace of the message in the log 
file.  There's not even a "postmaster" message in the 
logs.  However it was rejected, probably due to message 
size of 3826909 exeeding the limit of 3145728.  The 
reject message to the sender looked like:


From: "Postmaster" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Sent: Thursday, January 03, 2002 3:39 PM
Subject: Undeliverable Mail

  My complaint is that nowhere does it say that the 
message was too large.  You have to grind through
a huge log file to find that out.
