[TVARC] Message size

[K2PS Pete Stafford]

What choices are there?  Can we go higher?  

 

Gmail allows email sizes of 25MB, as does Yahoo.  Of the more popular providers, Hotmail has the lowest allowable, at 10MB.

 

If we can set it to 10MB I think we ought to be able to safely send nearly everything, and based on the size of our universe we’re not likely to get in a Denial of Service attack or somehow tie up the server.

Hi testers of the mailman.qth.net list,

 

Tony’s recent message regarding the agenda for the next board meeting got held up

by mailman and forwarded to me (the administrator) to deal with.  It got held up because

the maximum message size was set to 40k bytes.  Tony’s message was 600k bytes.  Of

course I released the message.  After chatting with Rich (ND4G) at Radio Rodeo, I went

ahead just now and increased our message size to 2M bytes.  We can try that for a while

and see what happens, or if someone has a better suggestion, I am all ears.

 

73,

George
