By datalimit I assume you mean the databytes parameter in the
/var/qmail/control directory. I havent an entry here so I assumed it would
be the default of 0 no limit. I have telnetted on 25 to some of the other
mailservers and they either have no limit or a limit of 10 megs and the
files I am trying to send as attachments are only around 1 to 2 megs.
The weird thing is I just powered down the modem then did a ifup ppp0 to
start it up again and it sent about 7 messages before it got to a big file
and choked. The messages that worked were only a couple of hundred k but
they were to yahoo.com and the uk and other local aussie sites some of these
sites before were the ones that were dying.
