Topic: screwed up my mail server

[maccamob]

hi again all,
whats that quote 'if it aint broke dont fix it!'   ;0(

SME 5.5
poweredge 1600 sc
18gig
256mb

i was trawling the forum on how to increase the email attachment size, i found a few and i decided to go for the one in the FAQ section(recall using this previously on another system). i completed the first command but seem to remember not putting the 'M' on the end of the number for size in megabytes. then issued the event-signal command and left the machine to carry on its stuff.
this morning my user reprted to me they cannot send or recieve any emails and cannot send internally either.
the error they're recieving from ther mail clients is a 552(micro$oft)

          'sorry,that message exceeds maximum message length'

so i thought i know ill try the command again remembering the 'M' still no change.

So i've just applied update 6, as my last hope and didnt work either, any and all help and pointers will be of great help to me,i've got the weekend to get this going again,otherwise i'll be in deep s**t

many thanks to all the great people on this forum

I tried that on a 5.5 and a 5.6 server and get no output, just returns to the command prompt !
Is that command correct ?

Hi Ray,

If you didn't set it no value will be returned.

Set it with a value and try again, the given value will be returned.

what does your /etc/php.ini tell you?

look for post_max_size and upload_max_filesize

change them to fit your needs and see what happens.
