Hi All,

In redhat linux mail server, how to control by not accepting email with attachment more than 5mb.

thanks,
 
It's not a redhat issue - what MTA?
 
sorry i dont understand your answer.

we have a redhat linux here install by a service company, then was made as our email server.

our problem begins when somebody sent us email more than 20MB and its so hard to download. So, I mean maybe theirs a way to control this email by not accepting any email with attachedment more than 5MB.

please i need help. thank you.

 
The answer means that it's up to the mail server, not the operating system. Your mail server will take care of it- sendmail, postfix, qmail, etc.

I'd have to investigate whether mine will block attachments like that, but I know I can limit the message size. That should work for you.
 
There is always a way to do anything.

What mailserver are you using?
 
thank you for your time.

as i check, its a sendmail.

thank you.
