Maximum Attachment Size

[Henry Burbano]

I set it:

Maximum Attachment Size = 0

But when I do it, all messages are blocked.

And the MailScanner send a response message to Postmaster, it message too is
blocked, and a new message is generated to Postmaster, and the proccess
start again, in one minute I have 500 messages.

Is a bug? or maybe I need to set another thing???

Thanks


Saludos,
