Hi,
I'm using getmail (using cron) for fetching the mails (from the ISP server) and
then letting postfix to manage them. In postfix I have set "message_size_limit"
to 10 MB. So when getmail retrieve the message (that is bigger than 10 MB) and
send it to postfix (thought sendmail), sendmail returns the error and the error
appear in the log (something like file too big, see the log output). So the
message isn't processed, no "bounce" is generated and the messages will stay
server so in the "next round" of getmail fetchm this procedure repeat until I
externally delete the mail from server. So my question is if it is possible to
generate some bounce message if mail is bigger than 10 MB (mail exceed
message_size_limit)?
