Thanks for all the replies,
Consensus is that I should uncomment the O MaxMessageSize=nnnn line in
sendmail.cf, setting nnnn to the size in bytes that we require the limit to
be, and restart sendmail.
Also, in response to: will MaxMessageSize work for outgoing emails? Yes,
basically as far as sendmail is concerned it treats all emails as incoming
when it receives them, whether from the local host for a remote host, or
from a remote host for the local host or for relaying, and therefore runs
its rules.
The SIZE keyword was a bit more difficult, most said that if it wasnt
specified or was 0 it would be infinity, so we're going to wait & see what
happens.
Thanks again,
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?
