Sendmail can be told to block emails over a certain size; you can either set a global maximum with confMAX_MESSAGE_SIZE, or set a per-mailer maximum. Luckily, if you tell sendmail to use procmail as the local delivery agent, procmail becomes a mailer and the limit can be set with the PROCMAIL_MAILER_MAX definition. See /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README for the details. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
