Re: [nmh-workers] How big a message should I accept?

Hi Norm,

> Is there some de facto or de jure upper limit to the size of an Email?

Methods of limiting include fetchmail(1)'s `-l' option that leaves the
email on the remote POP3 or IMAP server and just states its too-large
size instead, and postfix's `message_size_limit', see postconf(5), that
defaults to 10,240,000 bytes.  Be wary of making `message_size_limit'
huge because it's also used to check sufficient disk space before
accepting `MAIL FROM:'.
