Topic: Qmail error when users send invoices from pastel 09. Attachment too big

[thianb]

Hi All

Now if I send an email to any user Outlook Express comes up with the following error message:

The message could not be sent because its size exceeded the server's limit. You can use the option, located in Tools | Accounts | Properties | Advanced, to break messages into smaller parts. Subject 'TEST', Account: '192.168.0.1', Server: '192.168.0.1', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '552 Message too big!', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 552, Error Number: 0x800CCC6D

Please HELP??

This should help.

Code: [Select]

config setprop qmail MaxMessageSize 15000000
signal-event email-update

If you still have a problem, it might help if you do what OE is telling you to do:

You can use the option, located in Tools | Accounts | Properties | Advanced, to break messages into smaller parts.

Thian, just a question: how big is the invoice attach?

Thian, just a question: how big is the invoice attach?

My guess is "more than 15 bytes". Using "15M" would have caused quite severe mail disruption.

Your invoice to the SME community must be quite a substantial one by now.

The clue is
Mail with no Date header not accepted here
and the workaround answer is here

Thian, you should really spend some few hours reading all the FAQs and documentation (including Howtos) as you will become familiar with a whole lot of issues that may occur on your system, most of which have answers already published.

This saves the time of people who help out here, and they can spend that time resolving questions that do not yet have answers.

OE lied to you. You should complain to the manufacturer. That software should not make up error messages which have no basis in fact.
