I'm having a weird problem with attachments that are large causing a tempfail with AIX and Bellmail - I'm emailing here since I have a feeling this started when I started using mimedefang...

If this proves not to be the problem I'll ask the sendmail guys...

Here's my environment:

AIX 4.3.2
Sendmail 8.12.x (I think I'm patched to the next to latest)
Mimedefang w/SA only (no Virus or anything)

In sendmail.cf:

Mlocal, P=/bin/bellmail, F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qmn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=mail -F $g $u


and in mimedefang-filter's filter_end, I have the line:

                if (-s "./INPUTMSG" < (100*1024) ) {

 to skip big files...


Ok - now in sendmail's log, I have the error:

Jul 25 12:43:13 bkamen-0 sendmail[12398]: i6N7kY1p012680: to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (504/500), delay=2+09:56:38, xdelay=00:00:20, mailer=local, pri=30411793, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: local mailer (/bin/bellmail) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL

The email being transferred is ~20MB and is sitting /var/spool/mqueue.

One of my thoughts are:
Why is bellmail specified and then the args use mail -F $g $u (which is a completely different program)?



I have a feeling this will be best on the sendmail list - but you all are so smart - I figure someone might have an idea...


 Thanks,

 -Ben
