Sorry, forgot to mention one point... that the size limit should be annouced in EHLO (if it's not there now, it should and I think a higher priority that the behavior here). Since this is dealing with a remote client that is ignoring or violating what they're told in EHLO, I could see a aysadmin wanting to go either way. -- Serge Knystautas Lokitech >> software . strategy . design >> http://www.lokitech.com p. 301.656.5501 e.
