And exactly which part are you referring too?  Our users are not using webmail, but rather Outlook. Did search all through contribs, but could not find  anyone else with this issue.

Perhaps I should have been more informatiove of the problem. Small office 3 ladies, sadly as many times as I tell them NOT to send large attachments, they often forget. Every time anything larger than 5MB attempts to go out the server seem goes into slug mode, and all the bandwidth from the ISP vanishes. Now I am assuming th email is just bouncing as it was probably rejected by the ISP, I have not had the luxury of time to fully investigate this, and have ended up deleting the outgoing items.

Use from command line...

config setprop qmail MaxMessageSize x
config show qmail MaxMessageSize
signal-event email-update

where x is the size you want.

And if you still have problems ... like I did ... even with changing the settings ... you should have a look at ... http://web.inter.nl.net/users/hanscees/sme7/wondershaperbeefedup.html

Wondershaper did it for me.

I set a few settings so I never use 100% of my band width ... never get problems any longer.

Do a search in here and see what settings ppl have used.
