Topic: Setting max eMailsize

[Rudi]

Hi Everyone,

i might be doing something worg so i do not post this as a bug!

I am trying to send and recieve eMails with bigger Attachements (16Mb in the Test)
I am trying to send from one Server to another, both SME 9.4 all Updates installed.

I did this over the console:
config setprop qmail MaxMessageSize 25000000
signal-event email-update

I also changed the Values in the PHP.ini
I also did a Restart and also a Reconfigure ..

But the various Mailprogramms i tested keep telling me the same :
"552 File to big"

Someone here who can help?
thanks
Rudi

sorry, i forgot to mention that i did all that too ... still the same Error!

Oh, and the correct (complete) Message i get from the Mailprogramm is:

Die Nachricht konnte nicht gesendet werden, da ihre Größe das Serverlimit übersteigt. Sie können die Option unter "Extras | Konten | Eigenschaften | Erweitert" verwenden, um die Nachricht in kleinere Teile aufzuteilen. Betreff 'noch einmal', Konto: 'rudi@vielnascher.net', Server: 'mail.vielnascher.net', Protokoll: SMTP, Serverantwort: '552 Message too big!', Port: 465, Secure (SSL): Ja, Serverfehler: 552, Fehlernummer: 0x800CCC6D


And if this helps: with SME8 it works!

On my system there's a file in /var/service/qpsmtpd/config named ''databytes'' that may be causing problems.

I read http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7876 to imply that this file should be deleted so that qpsmtpd will use the value configured for qmail.

Try this:

Code: [Select]

'rm' /var/service/qpsmtpd/config/databytes
config setprop qmail MaxMessageSize 26213376
signal-event email-update

Here is a way to verify that the change is working (my input in bold):
After the changes:
# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.aicr.org ESMTP
ehlo me
250-aicr.local Hi localhost [127.0.0.1]
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE 26213376
250 STARTTLS
quit
#


(Before the changes:)
# telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.aicr.org ESMTP
ehlo me
250-aicr.local Hi localhost [127.0.0.1]
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE 10485660
250 STARTTLS
quit

I've added a note about deleting /var/service/qpsmtpd/config/databytes

Hi mmcarn,

Cool that did it!
thanks!

I've added a note about deleting /var/service/qpsmtpd/config/databytes

But for SME 8 this was fixed by smeserver-qpsmtpd-2.2.0-18.sme The SME 9 situation should be checked - we should not expect people to read the wiki and delete a file. (Although I appreciate the help and effort here)

Sounds like a bug should be raised to investigate and fix this.

Rudi you are the lucky winner, you have to raise the bug, please

[mmccarn]

Rudi you are the lucky winner, you have to raise the bug, please

The underlying problem was fixed in Bug 7876 and I've added a note to the wiki page for Email#Set_max_email_size

Are you recommending a 'new feature request' to delete qpsmtpd/config/databytes during the post-upgrade or reboot events?

[wellsi]

Bug 8329 http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8329

Port the SME 8 change to SME 9

mmccarn, i'm happy that you edit the documentation but you should use the correct syntax, please use that syntax in the wiki when you want to refer to a bug : [[bugzilla: 7876]]

in this manner we can see if the bug is solved or not

I corrected your editing and now we have one bug more to verify, is there a volunteer ?

mmccarn, i'm happy that you edit the documentation but you should use the correct syntax, please use that syntax in the wiki when you want to refer to a bug : [[bugzilla: 7876]]

Is there a place in the wiki that gives these hints - I know that I can never remember them.

And thanks to mmccarn for the help - one less bug in SME 9 now.

Thanks - I always forget the bug syntax on the wiki.  I figured it was better to post the info than not in the time I was stealing borrowing from my daytime gig...
