<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've had the same problem with SuSE 6.4 running sendmail 8.9.x (Not sure about the exact version).</font>
<p><font size=2 face="sans-serif">After installing the sendmail.rpm from SuSE 7.0 (sendmail 8.11.x - available as update for SuSE 7.0 - ) the error went away. Additionally I've added file locking to mailscanner.conf (flock). Looks like sendmail 8.9 releases file locks while receiving mails before they are completed. So mailscanner "grabs" these files and sendmail come's up with the file re-open error.</font>

<br><font size=2 face="Courier New">Hi people,<br>
<br>
I was wondering if anybody can tell me what the maximum size I should<br>
expect to be able to put through mailscanner? I've tried altering the Max<br>
Safe/Unsafe size, TNEF expander, and the various time outs, but the<br>
maximum (uuencoded) size of message that I can send seems to be<br>
just short of 20Mb, which is a bit on the small side for my purposes. (If<br>
I'm just using sendmail, then my limit is 900Mb (as set in my<br>
sendmail.cf) ) So I was wondering anybody knew if this was the limit,<br>
and if not anything I need to set to get it to go higher?<br>
<br>
If it helps then I'm running SuSE (with parts ranging from SuSe 6.3-7.2),<br>
with sendmail V8.9.3 and using Sophos. I can recieve, the 20Mb with<br>
sendmail, but then I get an error in the logs saying "cannot reopen<br>
XXXXXX", and the user's connection times out<br>
<br>
TIA<br>
<br>
