Problems sending large attachments? I have a P111 notebook with over 300MB memory and pcmcia modem running on Redhat 7.2. I use Kmail 1.3.2 on KDE 2.2.2-1 and have been trying Mutt 1.3.25i out. I have used sendmail-8.11.6-3 and have configured Kmail and mutt to use this
I can send emails with small attachments, receive emails even with large attachments but when I try to send large attachments around 40 KB and over using either ./sendmail -v -q or Kmail's smtp server, I get error messages, and the connection freezes. Mutt sends the mail to mqueue and when I use sendmail -q the connection stalls. This has happened with different desktops, different distros i.e. Redhat and SuSE 7.3. I have no problem when I use Windows, so it is not the ISP. Could it be a problem with 'wvdial.conf' or some other configuation file, limiting the size of message I can send? I have spent alot of time searching for answers and using different configuration of sendmail but unfortunately without joy. Is this a problem with linux, I need to send large attachments sometimes from home to work. Do I need to keep Windows installed? Jim
