Re: [cobalt-users] Qube2's Mailing List:Message to long >4000 characters




  1. I am deploying the mailing list function of my Qube2 for my clothing design company.  Some of my customers email to my company's mailing list with file attachments and the email file size is usually pretty big around 40kb or more.  As a result email size over 40kb got bounced back to administrator account on the Qube2.  I believe the admin account is accepting all the bounced email for mailing list.  Also the bounced email header states that the message is to long over 4000 characters.  Would you be kindly enough to walk through the steps to increase the capacity of the mailing list to take file size over 100kb. 
  1. If you telnet into your qube, there is a directory called /usr/local/majordomo/lists
  2. In that directory, there will be a file for every group you have configured.  In addition, if you have configured a mailinglist that is not part of a group, that will be there too, along with a config file for it.
 
    On my machine for example, I have a mailing list called "kimba"  so there is a file called /usr/local/majordomo/lists/kimba which is a file listing every email address that is supposed to be on that list.
    there is another file in the same directory called kimba.config which is a regular majordomo config file.  if you open that with pico (if your mailinglist was kimba you would just go that directory and type "pico kimba.config") you will find that about 2/3 of the way down in it there is a line that says
    
     "max message size=                                40000"
 
    This is the default.  You can increase that number.  I my case people use the list to send pictures back & forth, so I had to change that to 250000.  Then just hit control X and save the file.  You don't need to reboot or restart anything.
