Messaging server size limit

Hallo
As I see, I have common problem among the Sun Messaging Server administrators. I have whole system distributed on several virtual solaris machines and some days ago emerged message size problem. I noticed it in relation with incoming mail. When I create new user, he or she can't get larger mail then 300K. Sender get will known message:
This message is larger than the current system limit or the recipient's mailbox is full. Create a shorter message body or remove attachments and try sending it again.
<server.domain.com #5.3.4 smtp;552 5.3.4 a message size of 302 kilobytes exceeds the size limit of 300 kilobytes computed for this transaction>
Interesting thin is, that this problem arised with no correlation with other actions. I noticed this problem with new users before, but i could successful manage it with different service packs. Now this method with new users, this method doesn't work! Old users normally recieve messages bigger then 300k, as before.
I tried to set default setting blocklimit 2000 in imta.cnf, but I didn't succeed.
I know, that size limit can be set on different places, but is there a simple way, to set sending and recieving message size unlimited?
Messaging server version is:
Sun Java(tm) System Messaging Server 7u2-7.02 64bit (built Apr 16 2009)*
libimta.so 7u2-7.02 64bit (built 03:03:02, Apr 16 2009)*
Using /opt/sun/comms/messaging64/config/imta.cnf (compiled)*
SunOS mailstore 5.10 Generic_138888-01 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120*

For the sake of correctness, the attribute name in LDAP is mailMsgMaxBlocks.
I also stumbled upon this - the values like 300 blocks or 7000 blocks are set in (sample) service packages but are not advertised in Delegated Admin web-interface. When packages are assigned, these values are copied into each user's LDAP entry as well, and can not be seen or changed in web-interface.
And then mail users get "weird" errors like:
550 5.2.3 user limit of 7000 kilobytes on message size exceeded: [email protected]
or
550 5.2.3 user limit of 300 kilobytes on message size exceeded: [email protected]
resulting in
<[email protected]>... User unknown
or
552 5.3.4 a message size of 7003 kilobytes exceeds the size limit of 7000 kilobytes computed for this transaction
or
552 5.3.4 a message size of 302 kilobytes exceeds the size limit of 300 kilobytes computed for this transaction
resulting in
Service unavailable
I guess there are other similar error messages, but these two are most common.
I hope other people googling up the problem would get to this post too ;)
One solution is to replace the predefined service packages with several of your own, i.e. ldapadd entries like these (fix the dc=domain,dc=com part to suit your deployment, and both cn parts if you rename them), and restart the DA webcontainer:

cn: Mail-Calendar - Unlimited

See also limits in config files -
* msg.conf (in bytes):
service.http.maxmessagesize = 20480000
service.http.maxpostsize = 20480000
and
* imta.cnf (in 1k blocks): <channel block definition> ... maxblocks 20000 blocklimit 20000 sourceblocklimit 20000

If your deployment uses other SMTP components, like milters to check for viruses and spam, in/out relays separate from Sun Messaging, other mailbox servers, etc. make sure to use a common size limit.
For sendmail relays sendmail.mc (m4) config source file it could mean lines like these:
define(`SMTP_MAILER_MAX', `20480000')dnl
define(`confMAX_MESSAGE_SIZE', `20480000')dnl

Purchasing Ability to Exceed Message/Attachment Size Limit

Is it possible to purchase the ability to exceed the message/attachment size limit on iCloud? I keep running into it when I need to send out PDF image files.

I'm afraid not.

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!

Problem sending message, temporary size limit of server

I get this message when I try to send mail with attachments of less than 365 KB. "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: 4.1.1...temporary failure." This just started happening. I've e-mailed files with much larger attachments and never had an issue. I tried e-mailing smaller attachments with the same results. I also tried waiting until the next business day hoping that the issue would resolve itself to no avail.
Please Help!

The error message is coming from your email providers server. What do they say when you ask them what is wrong with their equipment?

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.

Content Server: Size limit for content stored in DB

Hi,
I would like to configure Content Server to store content in a database instead of file system. Is there any file size limit when content is stored in the database?

I read some earlier article that states that there is a 32k LIMIT on the size of an parameter (OUT or IN parameter). Is that still true for Oracle 11g?
If it is, for the following procedure:
create or replace procedure test_proc(myid out number, mydoc CLOB, img BLOB)
The maximum characters I can pass in is 32K? While the number (myid) is whatever the NUMBER type allows?
Thanks

I have the iphone download my pop email, but on several messages, it just says message has not been downloaded from server. Is there a limit to the size the message can be? If not, how can you get it to download the message when it says it hasn't been downloaded.

I just keep trying when i get this error and it will eventually work.. Just some advice I NEVER get this error if i am on WIFI.. only when connected to att edge network.. but dont give up keep trying it will work
oh.. sometimes i have to restart it for it to work.. just hold down the top button on the top and slide ur finger.. that worked for me before

Send Errors on Messages Exceeding Size Limit

Have at least 3 emails that got SEND Error for size exceeding 20480 kb. Mail server still retries Send every time while sending something new. If they are in some "OUTBOX" it isn't visible to Windows LiveMail or to the Webmail.
How can we delete the oversize messages???

Not sure what you are asking.
The message is for ONE message and it should be indicated in the message. The messages being resent would be in your outbox, and it should be easy to see the approximate size.

There is no limitation for the User side.

Apart from the suggestions above, I recommend you enable SMTP logging and check if there is any clue in the SMTP log.

Logfile size limit reached - logging stopped

From time to time, quite often, a pop-up window appears on my screen and says:Logfile size limit reached - logging stopped. I only can push "Accept" button or close it, but it rises again some time later. I haven't found any information on the web.

Hello,
I had this problem too, but I found the cause of it. It's comes from the extension 'IPLogger 1.6'.
This extension store, for every connexion, your IP adresse in a logfile, so after some times the file is full and the message "Logfile size limit reached" is displayed.
The best solution is to completely remove this extension, and replace it by similar one, like 'External IP'.
Now, the problem is solved for me :)
p.s. This problem should be considered as a bug for extension IPLogger. The logfile should be cleared when full instead of diplaying this annoyinf message !

The maximum value of maxlogfilesize is 2GB (a common filesystem limit).

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."

Shane.

CEM message size limit

We are still running Cisco E-Mail Manager 5.0. Does anyone know if CEM has a limit on message/attachment size. There are messages (all with attachment larger that 1mb) in the Exchange mailbox for CEM that are not getting delivered to the CEM server. I sent a test message with attachment less than 1mb and it went through just fine. Anything larger just sits in the Exchange inbox.
If there's a limit, how can it be changed?

Wow, it's been ages since I worked on CEM.
There certainly is an attachment limit - that was one of the things they wanted to get away from with EIM. For some strange reason, the figure 2MB sticks in my mind as the upper limit.
You seem to be finding otherwise, though. I'll have a look at some old docs.

The following files weren't attached because adding them would cause the message to exceed the maximum size limit of 10 MB

Dear sir/madam
I installed exchange server 2013
my clients want to attache more than 10 MB
when they attache more than 10 MB they got this massage "The following files weren't attached because adding them would cause the message to exceed the maximum size limit of 10 MB"
so how can you help me to increase the attachment size and the way to do that
how can I change the default 10 MB
Please can you help me as soon as
Rawa Zangana

Hi Rawa,
You can use EAC or EMS to set the MaxSendSize. The default value of MaxSendSize is 10 MB.
If you use EAC, here is the steps:
Logon to EAC -> Mail flow -> Receive connectors -> settings-> type the Maximum send message size you want to set
If you use EMS, please use the cmdlet Rajith provided.
Hope it helps.

JMS Server Message Buffer Size & Thresholds and Quotas settings

On WLS10MP1,
For persistent messages:
1.Does "JMS Server Message Buffer" setting serve the same purpose as "Bytes Threshold High" under Threshold ?
2.If no, can someone explain the difference pls.
Many thanx,

Message Buffer Size relates to the number of message the JMS server keeps in the memory. The value of this determines when the server should start paging the message out of memory to a persistence store. So this is directly related with the memory/storage issue and the size of messages.
Bytes Threshold High relates to the performance of the JMS server. When this limit is reached JMS server starts logging the message and may even instruct he producer to slow down the message input.
So the if you get Bytes Threshold High messages that means you should check on your consumer (MDB who is picking up messages from the que), and try to increase its performance.
However if your Message Buffer Size is crossing limits then you should think of increasing the momory so that more messages can be kept in memory and disck IO can be reduce.
Anyone wants to add something more to it?
