Problems with huge messages

[Alex Neuman]

No, you need to make sure you're installing MailScanner correctly. With 
apologies to the rest of the list, here goes:

Henry,

Necesitas instalar bien el MailScanner. Tienes que apagar el sendmail 
(incluyendo hacer que no arranque solo) y prender el MailScanner pa que 
el agarre y llame una instancia de sendmail pa que apañe los correos, 
los mande pa la cola en /var/spool/mqueue.in, y ENTONCES MailScanner lo 
agarre pa chequearlo de todas las maneras posibles para luego moverlo de 
ahi pa /var/spool/mqueue, donde el sendmail (segunda instancia) lo 
recoge y lo manda pa donde tiene que ir (buzon de tu usuario, o pa fuera).

Si arrancas MailScanner y no te detiene los mensajes, significa que el 
sendmail que el mailscanner arranca no esta usando los mismos settings 
que el sendmail "pelado" que corres supuestamente sin problemas.

Asegurate que tengas algo como:

define(`MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE', `3000000')dnl

en tu sendmail.mc y que lo compiles correctamente, de modo que no te puedan destruir tu servidor cuando se le antoje a cualquiera mandandote un mensaje de chorrocientos gigabytes.
