Message Size

[Alan Fiebig]

Julian,

The sender of the oversized message is receiving the 'sender.error.report.txt' message, not the 'sender.filename.report.txt'.

Here is a copy of one I received when I tested the feature. Note that its the report about not being able to fully analyse the message, yet the '$report' variable at the bottom clearly shows it was the size filter that snagged it.

##################################################################
Subject: Warning: Your E-mail to training at elknet.net was rejected
X-ElkNetMailScrubber: generated

Our virus detector failed to completely analyse a message you sent:-
  To: training at elknet.net
  Subject: second large test
  Date: Thu Jul  3 13:40:45 2003
Any parts of the message that could not be analysed will not have been
delivered.

If you are using Microsoft Outlook, we strongly recommend you change your
outgoing message format from "Rich Text" to "HTML" or "Plain Text".

The virus detector said this about the message:
Report: Message is too large

MailScanner then removes the entire message, and sends the 'deleted.virus.message.txt' to the receipient, with a new attachment that contains an explaination regarding the removal of the attachment. The subject of this message has been modified with the {virus} tag.

Hope that helps!
