[Logcheck-devel] Bug#528346: SMTP rehuses to send big mails created from logcheck.

[Victor Pablos Ceruelo]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.69
Severity: normal


I usually receive this mails from the smtp server.
I think that logcheck should check the size of emails and split 
in some of them if contents exceed 5MB or something like that.

A message that you sent was longer than the maximum size allowed on this
system. It was not delivered to any recipients.

------ This is a copy of your message, including all the headers.
------ No more than 100K characters of the body are included.

This email is sent by logcheck. If you wish to no-longer receive it,
you can either deinstall the logcheck package or modify its
configuration file (/etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf).
