[Savannah-help-public] problems with large emails

[Werner LEMBERG]

Folks,


I've recently sent a large mail (about 400kByte) to
address@hidden, expecting that it is put into the queue of
emails which I (as the list maintainer) have to approve.

However, this was not the case.  Instead, it was rejected, without
giving ANY reason (see below).  Why?

Note that the value `max_message_size' in mailman is set to zero for
the freetype-devel list (not a good choice, I know, and I will
eventually change it).  I expect that this effectively disables size
restrictions of emails, but obviously this isn't the case.

Please advise.
