Can Webmail uploads still be restricted to a smaller size than specified on php.ini?

The whole idea for installing WebFileBrowser was to overcome the 10MB email size limitation that most servers have, by keeping the maximum allowed attachment size to about 4MB, and enforcing the use of WFB for larger file transfers.
But by making the changes to php.ini to increase the max_upload_size parameter and other parameters related to this case, if a user tries to send - for example - a 20MB file via webmail, the server will retry sending the message over and over, potencially bringing the server to an unstable state.

If there's a way to limit the message size on Webmail (both the regular e-mail and the groupware e-mail), this problem could be avoided.

Also, what would happen if I change the memory_limit parameter on php.ini to a very large number? Will it take all of the server's memory and crash it?

What if more than one person tries to upload at the same time and the sum of both uploads is larger than the memory_limit ?

Thanks,

John

iceman, what is the error message you get when you try and upload a file larger than the limit set in the php.ini? Mine says "document contains not data"

Also, if I change anythig in the custom template it does *not* change the php.ini file. So maybe that is the problem. Or is it suppose to?

I am truly confussed at this point.

For any change to the template to be activated you need to issue the command

/sbin/e-smith/expand-template /etc/php.ini

followed by

service httpd restart or a reboot.

I am throughyl lost.  I have tried everything that you guys suggested above and I am still unable to uplaod a file greater then 1mb.  I have tried icemans fixes and I have disable the sandbox.  I am throughly lost and about to give up

I know how you feel Ian It seems as though you and I are the only ones with the 1MB problem. I'm thinking is has something to do with another package that we have installed.

Ian, I know what works now. Are you by chance using Firebird as your browser? I just tried uploading a larger file with Internet Explorer and it *worked* . Figure than one out!

One a side note, I'm not able to delete the large file I just uploaded, more testing......

[Mark Thomas]

It has nothing to do with the Firebird browser, it has everything to do with the proxy I was using in Firebird.

That has not solved my problem.  But thanks in advance.
