This leads into a question I need to ask. Can qmail limit the size of
messages it sends/receives?
We have an institution-wide policy limiting email messages to 2 megabytes.
Most of our in-house email systems are set up to enforce that limit. And,
our qmail machine also acts as a 'smart host'. So what happens (more often
than I'd like) is that someone mails a six meg file to another person. The
recipient's mail system rejects the message because it's too big. Qmail is
unable to bounce the message because the sender's mailer also rejects it as
being too big so postmaster ends up with this file. Quite frankly, when I'm
reading through postmaster messages, _I_ don't really want to download this
message either. Especially if I happen to be home using POP. So, two
questions:
1) can we strip the body of bounces (especially attachments) so that the
above bounce can go through and
2) can we make qmail reject mail over a certain size?
