Message Limitation

To Configure Message Limitation  

125  

Some email systems and IMTAs encounter problems when handling large messages. You can control how the channels handle large messages (measured in bytes and number of lines) for the SMTP intranet/internet channels, SMTP explicit route channels, and local or message store channels (for other channels, this feature has no effect). You can specify that messages be limited by size, number of recipients, or that they be fragmented if they exceed a certain size.

Note that the local and message Store channels do not support either of the Fragmented submitted msgs parameters or the Max. no. of recipients per msg parameter.

  2. (Optional) Set limit on message size.

You can specify a limit at which a message should be fragmented into smaller messages and a limit at which a message should be deemed too large and rejected. The default is unlimited.
