I found these lines in sendmail.cf
# maximum message size
#O MaxMessageSize=1000000
So, I guess all I'd have to do is remove the # from the second line,
change that number (presumably the number of bytes) and restart sendmail,
then it'd limit messages to that number of bytes, like this:
# maximum message size
O MaxMessageSize=100
Can it be that simple??
OK, assuming it is, what would it do for me? Would it prevent people from
emailing me 1Kb of info in a 2 meg Word file? If so would it return their
mail to them with a nasty note saying it's too big, or what?
If it's such a great idea, why doesn't everyone do it? :-)
