Is there anyway to increase the attachment size in ezmlm. Would like to send up 2M files across the list serve.

Very simple...

Login as root to your SME server,

cd /home/e-smith/ezmlm/[your domain]/[listname]/

pico msgsize

change the first number to be the max size ( bytes) of a message allowable, as in:

2000000 : 2

to allow 2 meg attachments.

Remember if you have a big list of names (that include external addresses) and send messages to the list with large attachments your outgoing internet connection will be very busy for a long time.
An alternative is to put the large file (the attachment) on a ftp site (password protected if reqd) and put a link in the message. That way recipients can choose to read the attachment or not, without loading up your outgoing internet connection.
