How about limiting the size of messages that can be delivered to procmail? In situations where you have artists and such sending 10M messages that must get through, there is the hope of having sendmail give not give them to procmail (which bloats and tries to take the machine with it.) I found references in cf/README to this, but attempts to get it in the mc file don't change the resulting cf. PROCMAIL_MAILER_MAX [undefined] If set, the maximum size message that will be accepted by the procmail mailer. Does anyone know how to set this? It looks as if you can do this even without using procmail as your local transport agent. but i could be totaly wrong. - wayne -----Original Message----- From: Mark Conway Wirt <mark@intrepid.net> To: Chris Shenton <chris@shenton.org>; Michael Moran <mmoran@veronet.net> Cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG <freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG> Date: Thursday, March 18, 1999 11:55 AM Subject: Re: E-Mail size limitation by ISPs >On Wed, Mar 17, 1999 at 08:30:00PM -0500, Chris Shenton wrote: >> Michael Moran <mmoran@veronet.net> writes: >> >> > Are ISPs out there limiting the size of e-mail messages and its file >> > attachments? >> > >> > If so, what are their size of limitation? and reasons? >> >> And how exactly?
