I believe you need to look in /etc/sendmail.cf. Look for the MaxMessageSize option and set it to what you like. Probably setting it to zero would give you unlimited sizes, but that would be quite foolish. Better to set it to a very large number that you're sure you will have the drive space to handle. Otherwise you're going to download an email from some hacker someday that is about 50GB in size, all into your 20MB /var partition. That's an exaggeration, but you get the idea. --- Derrick Baumer To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
