Mailbox Size Limit Xmail Server, mailbox size limit xmail server

[ava]

Dear all,

In xmail server, we search how it's possible to put a limit for mailbox size.

1. Is it possible to define one size for all mailbox used in one action ?
2. Is it possible to define differents sizes per mailbox ( one by one ) ?

Thanks for fast reply

2. Yes, inside a user's user.tab file:
http://xmailserver.org/Readme.html#user_tab_variables

1. Yes - If not already set in the user's user.tab, then the rules inside userdef.tab are applied:
http://xmailserver.org/Readme.html#userdef_tab
It's scope is global or per domain.

Hi,

I changed /var/MailRoot/domains/domain.name/user/user.tab for one user

"MaxMessageSize" "5000000"

( 5000000 for 5 M0 maxi ), but this user are able to receive and send message more than 5Mo, do we need to restart xmail service or is there another parameter some where ?

Bye

2. from internal sender to external receiver -> it doesn't work ?????
( we would like to have the same control and same message than 1.)
3. from internal sender to another internal receiver -> it doesn't work ?????

These values are in KB: 5 MB = 5129 KB, NOT 5000000 ....

Hi,

For one user, we set up in user.tab with
"MaxMessageSize" "5129"

I made one test with attached file ( 3.96 Mo = 4'155'312 octets ) and user can't send it.

Message back from server :
552 Message exceeds fixed maximum message size

I don't know why because this file is under 5 mo.

Could you help me ?

Bye

Pls send your server.tab as well as this user's user.tab.

Thanks ! 2 things:

In user.tab remove MaxMBSize of you want no limit. The entry
"MaxMBSize" "1000000000000000000"
can cause unwanted side effecte because this number in KB will cause an overfow.

Second: You tested with an attachment of 3.96 MB.
Keep in mind that the size you see when composing a mail in your client, is not the size it has after it has been sent. Client side MIME encoding of attachments increases size by approx. 33% which results in

3.96 MB x 1.33 = 5.27 MB

This exceeds the 5 MB limit. Pls test with smaller files.

To come as close as possible to a 5 MB binary attachment limit you should set MaxMessageSize to

5120 KB x 1.33 = 6810 KB = rounded 6900 KB
