FW: limiting the size of emails

Ok, thanks for the initial responses - using O MaxMessageSize=nnnnn in the
sendmail.cf

What concerns me though is that this (according to Costales & Allman,
Sendmail, O'Reilly) only works if the SIZE keyword to the ESMPT MAIL command
is specified by the incoming email. So a couple more questions:-

- will MaxMessageSize work for outgoing emails?
- what happens if SIZE is 0 or not specified?
- anyone know if SIZE is something that is common or uncommon?

Sorry, that was 3, not a couple :-)

Cheers
Jo

Subject: limiting the size of emails

Hi all,
 
I have been asked to limit the size of both incoming and outgoing emails -
we are currently running a very basic vanilla sendmail on Solaris 8. Any
ideas please?
