Repeatedly sending the same email, Postfix limit exceeded...
Posted: Sun Aug 14, 2011 4:03 am
Hey guys,
So, I'm using postfix through gmail and they've got a 25mb size limit. At least that's my understanding.
So, I've gone into /etc/postfix/main.cf and set "message_size_limit" accordingly... so, postfix rejects any messages greater than 25mb. But, ZM doesn't appear to understand that there is a size limit and keeps trying to send an email with a 32mb video attachment over and over and over again.. the same message..
Anybody have any ideas? What ultimately happens to this email message? Will ZM attempt to send it into perpetuity? If so, how do I kill it? Whip out phpmyadmin and update the database?
Should I remove the size limit in main.cf and let gmail reject it? It would seem if postfix tells ZM the message has been sent then at least it won't re-attempt to send it over and over again? Have I answered my own question?? Some illumination would be appreciated..
Anybody else using email run into this problem?
