Hi,

While checking the mail log yesterday morning, I noticed that Postfix
didn't log the sender or recipient when it rejected a message due to
exceeding the message_size _limit.  I'd be interested to know if this is
the intended behaviour. I'm running Debianized Postfix 3.1.0.

Log excerpt;
Jun 20 03:53:34 skin P25/smtpd[13887]: connect from
mail-it0-x22b.google.com[2607:f8b0:4001:c0b::22b]
Jun 20 03:53:35 skin P25/smtpd[13887]: NOQUEUE: reject: MAIL from
mail-it0-x22b.google.com[2607:f8b0:4001:c0b::22b]: 452 4.3.4 Message

How would one log a recipient when the MAIL FROM command is rejected?
have you discovered some way to send RCPT TO without MAIL FROM?
No, but I obviously can't read log files!

Apologies. I was under the (wrong) impression that for the message to be rejected due to exceeding the message size limit, it would have had to have got to the data stage. I take it from your response (and noting the log 'reject: MAIL from') that the sender just piled in over 10MB of data at the 'mail from:' stage. That never even occurred to me though it should have been obvious.

Thanks for your help,

Mick.
