Group address - size limit

I have a reasonably small group address - just about 16 names. But mail program will not allow me to add any more names (& addresses) to it. Is there a limit on the number of words (characters) in a group address? I read comments from people who have school groups, church groups, so I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions?
Another problem - if I include the group addresses with other addresses in my "To:" box, it gives me a message saying that there is a problem with some addresses. By trial and error, I have found out that the name of the group - e.g. "Sewing" - needs to be deleted and only the ladies' names & addresses can be in the "To:" box. I also have to delete the at each end of the address. Thanks

Austin,
Sorry - I should have been clearer.
I am referring to composing emails in the .mac mail program. I have no problems with the Mail Program - Version 2.1.
There is no option to turn off "When sending to a group, show all member addresses" in the .Mac mail prog. I use this program whenever I am away from home in WI, and as you have probably seen from my profile, I am often in Tralee. I also travel to Michigan on a regular basis, so I use my .Mac mail a lot. I know this prog. has been improved immensely lately, with the email address recogniton feature(getting away from the meagre 10 quick addresses), so I thought the group address feature might be improved also.
Thanks anyway for your advice and maybe someone else has had my problem with .mac mail group addresses.
Regards

Group message size limit bug

Recently some friends set up a group chat with 13 members. The chat works fine for everyone except me. My phone seems to not want any group chats with more than 10 people and it just splits the chat and makes new chats always excluding a few people. This really makes no sense considering the group chat works fine for all the other iphone users in the chat.

Hi,
i need to set a message size limit that applies to
both incoming and outgoing mail. I see there is an
user-attribute I can set on LDAP, mailmsgmaxblocks,
but the reference guide says that it is: "The size in
units of MTA blocks of the largest message that can
be sent to this user". I want the limit to apply to
messages SENT by an user, too.
I don't think that this can be an user-based
attribute, because mail it would not apply to users
not belonging to local domains sending inbound mail,
but there is an MTA-wide option I can set to do
this?I did find this option in the 2005Q4 messaging server reference guide:
<snip>
LDAP_SOURCEBLOCKLIMIT: The LDAP attribute to specify the maximum number of
blocks allowed in a user�s message. The MTA rejects messages containing more blocks than this from a user. An MTA block is normally 1024 bytes, but this can be changed
with the BLOCK_SIZE option in the MTA option file. This is a user analog to the sourceblocklimit keyword and has no default.
</snip>
This seems to describe exactly what you are after, I haven't personally tried it before.
Implementing will require jumping through a few hoops:
1. Extend your directory schema to add a new user attribute (you will need to dig through directory server manuals for help on this).
2. Add LDAP_SOURCEBLOCKLIMT=<attribute from (1)>
3. Add <attribute from (1)> to the users entry set to the the number of blocks of the maximum email e.g. 1024 would be 1MB email limit.
To limit ALL emails across the MTA, both incoming and outgoing, change the BLOCK_LIMIT option.dat variable:
"Places an absolute limit on the size, in blocks, of any message that may be sent or received with the MTA. Any message exceeding this size is rejected. By default, the MTA
imposes no size limits. Note that the blocklimit channel keyword can be used to impose limits on a per-channel basis. The size in bytes of a block is specified with the BLOCK_SIZE option."

Address Book Distribution List Size Limit

I can't seem to find any information on the limits, if any, of the size (in number of email addresses) of a Distribution List. I have a list that currently contains 148 entries. In attempting to send out to this DL the other day, it failed several times until I broke the list roughly in half and did two separate mailings.
As this list will grow, it'd be great to know what sort of size limit there is on a DL, if there is one. Or could the problem I am experiencing be with limitations imposed by my service provider?
Thanks in advance for any responses.

As Euchre stated, the issue is probably ISP limits related.
Call them a find out what your per email and daily limits are. Apple Mail really is not designed for "mass" mailing so I recommend using an app specifically designed for mass mailing.
Once you know the limits, use a bulk mail app like MaxBulk Mailer (http://www.maxprog.com/) - Mac World gives it 4.5 mice. It automates and schedules batches of emails with options that Apple Mail can not reproduce and is very intuitive.
e.g. You want to send a mass mail to 200 recipients. If your ISP limits are 30 recipients per email, and 500 emails per day, they you set up your MaxBulk Mailer to send out 20 emails at a time, every hour, over 10 hours ( I chose 20 emails at a time so you could still send out single emails from Apple Mail)
MaxBulk mailer is free to try - adds a tag at the end to advertise its use, but once you get a license the tag is not added.
Hope this helps.

FILE and FTP Adapter file size limit

Hi,
Oracle SOA Suite ESB related:
I see that there is a file size limit of 7MB for transferring using File and FTP adapter and that debatching can be used to overcome this issue. Also see that debatching can be done only for strucutred files.
1) What can be done to transfer unstructured files larger than 7MB from one server to the other using FTP adapter?
2) For structured files, could someone help me in debatching a file with the following structure.
000|SEC-US-MF|1234|POPOC|679

I would need a the complete data in a single file at the destination for each file in the source. If there are as many number of files as the number of batches at the destination, I would need the file output file structure be as follows:

Ok Here are the steps
1. Create an inbound file adapter as you normally would. The schema is opaque, set the polling as required.
2. Create an outbound file adapter as you normally would, it doesn't really matter what xsd you use as you will modify the wsdl manually.
3. Create a xsd that will read your file. This would typically be the xsd you would use for the inbound adapter. I call this address-csv.xsd.
4. Create a xsd that is the desired output. This would typically be the xsd you would use for the outbound adapter. I have called this address-fixed-length.xsd. So I want to map csv to fixed length format.
5. Create the xslt that will map between the 2 xsd. Do this in JDev, select the BPEL project, right-click -> New -> General -> XSL Map
6. Edit the outbound file partner link wsdl, the the jca operations as the doc specifies, this is my example.
<jca:binding />
        <operation name="MoveWithXlate">
      <jca:operation
          InteractionSpec="oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileIoInteractionSpec"
          SourcePhysicalDirectory="foo1"
          SourceFileName="bar1"
          TargetPhysicalDirectory="C:\JDevOOW\jdev\FileIoOperationApps\MoveHugeFileWithXlate\out"
          TargetFileName="purchase_fixed.txt"
          SourceSchema="address-csv.xsd"
          SourceSchemaRoot ="Root-Element"
          SourceType="native"
          TargetSchema="address-fixedLength.xsd"
          TargetSchemaRoot ="Root-Element"
          TargetType="native"
          Xsl="addr1Toaddr2.xsl"
          Type="MOVE">
      </jca:operation> 7. Edit the outbound header to look as follows
    <types>
        <schema attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"
                targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/"
                xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
                xmlns:FILEAPP="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/adapter/file/">
            <element name="OutboundFileHeaderType">
                <complexType>
                    <sequence>
                        <element name="fileName" type="string"/>
                        <element name="sourceDirectory" type="string"/>
                        <element name="sourceFileName" type="string"/>
                        <element name="targetDirectory" type="string"/>
                        <element name="targetFileName" type="string"/>
                    </sequence>
                </complexType>
            </element>
        </schema>
    </types>   8. the last trick is to have an assign between the inbound header to the outbound header partner link that copies the headers. You only need to copy the sourceDirectory and SourceGileName
    <assign name="Assign_Headers">
      <copy>
        <from variable="inboundHeader" part="inboundHeader"
              query="/ns2:InboundFileHeaderType/ns2:fileName"/>
        <to variable="outboundHeader" part="outboundHeader"
            query="/ns2:OutboundFileHeaderType/ns2:sourceFileName"/>
      </copy>
      <copy>
        <from variable="inboundHeader" part="inboundHeader"
              query="/ns2:InboundFileHeaderType/ns2:directory"/>
        <to variable="outboundHeader" part="outboundHeader"
            query="/ns2:OutboundFileHeaderType/ns2:sourceDirectory"/>
      </copy>
    </assign>you should be good to go. If you just want pass through then you don't need the native format set to opaque, with no XSLT

Share Point folder size limit - File Services

I created a new folder inside a share point using Server Admin. Is there a way to set a folder size limit (quota) for that folder.
P.S. I am NOT talking about user accounts quotas for home folders created using Workgroup Manager! ...Just any new folder created, to be used on any volume, is there a way to set a mamimum size?
For example I have a 1TB volume on my Xserve RAID. I create a new folder but want to set its maximum capacity to 200GB. Is that possible?
Thank you very much in advance for any feedback.

There's no direct way to set a limit on a folder size.
The 'simplest' method I can think of is to create partitions on your disk of the appropriate sizes and share these - they will have inherent size limits based on the size of the partition. It's a little messier but should solve your issue.
:: thinking :: you might be able to use disk images rather than partitions, although I've never tried sharing a mounted disk image, and you'd need to address automounting the disk images when the server starts, so it might not be viable.

Library Size Limit & Recipient IDs

This looks like a better alternative to services like
yousendit, but I was wondering if the 1GB library size limit will
be retained once the service is out of beta, and if we would be
able to purchase more storage space.
Also, will the recipient always have to create an Adobe ID in
order to retrieve the file? Some of my clients may shy away from
using the service if they have to create an ID. Thanks!

During the beta period the library size is limited to 1GB per
user. We will share additional information regarding storage space,
additional features etc in the next few months.
Regarding the Adobe ID. You clients will need to sign-up for
an Adobe ID if you share a file with them with restricted access.
The service uses the Adobe ID to ensure that only the recipients
with the valid e-mail addresses are allowed to access your shared
documents.

SGA Max Size limit?

Hi,
I have Fujitsu mid range Server with 16gb RAM and 64 bit Windows Server 2003,10g R2 db installed, current i have SGA size 4gb..
What is SGA max size limit????
One of my report runs in 24 seconds...*will this issue b solved increasing the SGA size upto 10,12 gb?*

Yes,
You can also go for a 10046 event tracing...
ACCEPT sid PROMPT 'Enter SID: '
ACCEPT serial PROMPT 'Enter SERIAL#: '
ACCEPT action PROMPT 'Enter TRUE or FALSE: '
EXEC sys.DBMS_SYSTEM.SET_SQL_TRACE_IN_SESSION(&sid,&serial,&action);
prompt Trace &action for &sid,&serial
exec DBMS_SYSTEM.SET_EV(10,20,10046,12,”);
Then you can check your dump file and see whcih events are higher......
For Eg. content could be like:

Error 4.7.1 message exceeds size limit, but it doesnt

I am receiving this error every time I try to send a message.
The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent; try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded: 4.7.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: [email protected] exceeded daily recipients threshold . See http://postmaster.frontiernet.net.
This happened randomly and without provocation. I have talked to my mail provider and they are telling me that it is an internal error. They have checked my connection settings and everything is set up properly. The messages i am sending are just test messages with one word in them.

Did your provider also tell you that mime encoded attachments are about 30% larger than the original file size of the attachment. So a 4Mb attachment would exceed a 5Mb limit.

EPrint - Message Exceeded Size Limit

I received an error message using ePrint that message exceeded size limit. It seems that 5MB is the limit. Are there solutions for larger files, i.e. winzip? Thanks.

Hi Igcgf,
As of right now the size limit is 5 MB as reviewed here about size limits. Also, a winzip file, which may hold supported file types such as PDFs, is not a supported file to be opened up and sorted through for printing purposes. It is best to take files out of the winzip file and attach to an outgoing email to your ePrint address.
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Hi Blake ,
Thanks for your reply , I appreciate your help ,
I didn't put the alert from scom console because they were same as the events ( same source )

Listener.log size limit on Linux 64-bit

Hi!
We have listener.log file growing very fast because of very active database. Every month or two I truncate that file to free up disk space but this time I forgot to truncate it for some time.
File grew to 4294967352 bytes and stopped there on that size. Everything is working as it should with listener service - only listener.log file isn't updating.
I've tried to search for more informations about listener.log size limit but haven't found answer that satisfies me.
Where can I find more information why my listner.log file is limited to 4294967352 bytes?
I suppose that this is some OS limit but how can I check this?
It is Linux 64-bit OS with Oracle 10.2.0.4.
Thanks for possible answers and best regards,
Marko Sutic

Ah, yes... thanks Sybrand for reminder, my brain just stopped working :)

Office 2010 downloads too much stuff to users' roaming profiles, making it go over the 30MB size limit

Hey, we recently rolled out to Office 2010 at my workplace.
On the student segment we've activated the 30MB roaming profile size limit, and we've found that a bunch of students have had trouble with this now because Office 2010 seems to download around 8MB of files to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Templates\LiveContent, which
occasionally makes the profile go over the 30MB size limit.
Is there any easy way to prevent this LiveContent from being downloaded?? Anything I can set in the installation transformation file, or preferably with a registry setting or something?

You had mentioned a policy to disable synchronization of the LiveContent folders.
I think it would be this GP admin template setting, it's what we use for this kind of requirement:
File Name: UserProfiles.admx
Policy Setting Name: Exclude directories in roaming profile
Scope: User
Policy Path: System\User Profiles
Registry Information: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System!ExcludeProfileDirs
Supported On: At least Windows 2000
Help Text: This policy setting lets you exclude folders that are normally included in the user's profile.
As a result, these folders do not need to be stored by the network server on which the profile resides and do not follow users to other computers.
Note: When excluding content from the profile you should try to exclude the narrowest set of data that will address your needs.
For example, if there is one application with data that should not be roamed then add only that application's specific folder under the AppData\Roaming folder rather than all of the AppData\Roaming folder to the exclusion list.By default, the Appdata\Local
and Appdata\LocalLow folders and all their subfolders such as the History, Temp, and Temporary Internet Files folders are excluded from the user's roaming profile.In operating systems earlier than Microsoft Windows Vista, only the History, Local Settings,
Temp, and Temporary Internet Files folders are excluded from the user's roaming profile by default.If you enable this policy setting, you can exclude additional folders.If you disable this policy setting or do not configure it, only the default folders are
excluded.
Note: You cannot use this policy setting to include the default folders in a roaming user profile.

Temporary Queue BMQ size limit?

Hi,
is there a size limit for tha temporary queue on BEA Message queue?
To explain better the ones managed by BMQ itself, not the permanent ones configured in the init files.
I ask this since I have this kinf of transaction on my application:
client send a message by BMQ to Server that performs the receive and send the ACK Message to client whose buffer is 30 KB(30.000 byte), so is there a size limit on the BEA Message Q temporary queues?
Thanks.
Ciao
Andrea

That depends. In most cases, there is no limit for tmq queue size.
But you need to know the following things:
1. On Unix/Win, the tmp queue is stored in the heap of qe process and doesn't have size limit. But on OVMS, tmp queue shares the global section with other queues. So obviously the max tmp queue size is limited.
2. You can define the tmp queue quota in init file. In this case, the queue size is limited.
3. If the tmp queue quota is exceeded, the message will be stored in SAF/DQF files, which may have size limit.
4. If the message is sent cross groups, the message may be in link_buffer_pool when linkdriver is busy for network I/O. The link_buffer_pool is limited.
5. Each message cannot exceed the specified max message in this group, which is defined in init file and needs to be less than or equal to 4M bytes.

Leo

The script above ran perfectly yesterday when I wrote it, producing exactly what I need. However, when I came into work today, and working in the same session of Powershell, I received the following:
Get-ADGroupMember : The size limit for this request was exceeded
At line:1 char:1
I then closed the session and attempted to run this script again but keep receiving the same error. I don't want to change the ADWS settings to extend the size, is there an alternative or some modification I can do to achieve the same result?
Please advise. Thanks.

Hi,
You may need to use DirectorySearcher methods instead. Here's some information and a sample script from the repository:

Setting a Default Organisation Message Size Limit and a Higher Limit on an Individual Mailbox

Ok. So here's the problem. I've read all the articles on setting message size limits for Organisation, Transport Send Connectors, Transport Receive Connectors, setting precedence, etc., but they don't detail how to solve this problem.
One person in our organisation is to get a raised message size limit for sending and receiving internally and externally. I've already set up limits on the Organisation Transport Global Settings, Send Connectors, Receive Connectors, etc. So,
as this individual requires a higher limit, I've raised the limits on their mailbox, and the aforementioned connector settings, etc., except the
Organisation Configuration / Hub Transport / Global Settings / Transport Settings / Maximum Receive
and Send Sizes. The theory is that I can keep these two values at the original lower setting as these are overridden by the individual's new, higher, mailbox settings, but they will continue to act as the default for other existing mailboxes
and newly created mailboxes. Right ? Wrong! For the individual's mailbox, this will only raise the limit for messages sent internally (not to or from external email addresses).
Now, I could change all existing mailboxes to have the old default lower limit using a PowerShell / EMS command, but this wouldn't work either. Newly created mailboxes will still default to the new larger limit. Most of our mailbox creation is
scripted, though some are created manually. I don't want to alter the script and inform the admins as this is too much work and admins will forget about the new limits. TBH, I'll probably forget about the new limits. That's just a messy inefficient
approach. What I want is to set a new default for message size limits, with the original low limits. I.e., a setting that applies to existing mailboxes with no explicit message size limits set, and also newly created mailboxes, but not any mailbox
with an explicitly specified higher message size limit. Any mailbox with explicitly specified higher limits should be able to send larger messages both internally
and externally. Can anyone help ? Like I said, I've already read the articles so I don't need links to these thanks. I'm more looking to people who have done this kind of thing already.
BTW, we are using Exchange 2007 SP3. It has a mailbox server Single Copy Cluster (SCC) with two nodes. It also has two Client Access / Hub Transport servers. Just so you know ;-)

Hi huddie71,
Thank you for your question.
I've raised the limits on their mailbox, and the aforementioned connector settings, etc.,
except the Organization Configuration / Hub Transport / Global Settings / Transport Settings / Maximum Receive and Send Sizes.
By my understand, we could modify the global settings by the following path:
Organization Configuration / Hub Transport / Global Settings / Transport Settings / Maximum Receive and Send Sizes.
Because it will work on existed user and new user without explicit message size limits sets.
If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.
Best Regard,
Jim
Hi Jim-Xu. That would result in everyone getting an increased limit. I only want one person to have an increased limit. See the 2nd paragraph in my original post.
