Hello,
I've got problems with sites that limit their message size.
One example site uses some kind of sendmail that also logs
the whole conversation. This is from the remote end:
03-29-2000.00:04:09 SMTPresponder-26115: << DATA
03-29-2000.00:04:09 SMTPresponder-26115: created temp file:
/var/spool/MHS2/SMTPresponder-SMTP-in/TEMP.6603.38e18ec9.7fb90.1
03-29-2000.00:04:09 SMTPresponder-26115: >> 354 Enter mail, end with "." on a line by
itself
03-29-2000.00:19:26 SMTPresponder-26115: size of data portion from 192.168.2.2
exceeded maximum
03-29-2000.00:19:26 SMTPresponder-26115: >> 552 message size exceeds maximum message
size
03-29-2000.00:19:26 SMTPresponder-26115: 192.168.2.2 did not send <CR><LF>.<CR><LF>,
message discarded
Locally I get:
03-29-2000.00:19:27.702631 delivery 4: deferral:
Connected_to_192.168.1.1_but_connection_died._(#4.4.2)/
Looking into the (1.03) source I think the problem must be somewhere in
qmail-remote.c or qmail-send.c where it doesn't seem to see the actual
return code (mangled in saferead()?) and only pass a temporary error
upwards. OTOH I didn't dig deep enough into qmail to actually fix this,
and also would like further confirmation for this problem.
I would like to see qmail bouncing this mail immediately stating to
the sender that the message was too big instead of trying the
message again and again to no avail except filling the pipe.
Has anyone else run into this problem? How did you solve this?
Best Regards,
