Email Size Limit

How do I increase it and is there any reason not to increase it to...say...20mb?

 

if you are using postfix then you can edit the line in /etc/postfix/main.cf with

Code:

message_size_limit = some figure

. The figure is displayed in byte, so you may put desired figure here.

Hope it works.

I cannot find that line in my main.cf file but email size is still limited to 4 or 5MB it seems. I imagine that is set somewhere...

This is the mail error I am trying to avoid getting:

 

Wouldn't that be adding an additional restriction when I want to increase the limitation?

 

Can it be any number or do I have to do it in specific increments?

So...

postconf -e 'message_size_limit = 20000000' ?

 

It can be any number.
