- Most versions of sendmail don't limit incoming message sizes (except
- for the disk space available in the queue). However, there are limits
- on outgoing message size. Look in your sendmail.cf file for lines
- beginning with the letter "M" -- if they have something like:
-
- Mfoo ... M=100000 ...
-
- then message size limiting is enabled. Remove the M= part or set it
- to a larger number.
