To change mail attachment size, we have to change 3 settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Change message size limit in postfix
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Postfix is MTA, so we have to change its setting to transfer mail with large
|
|
|
|
attachment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To allow mail with 100Mb attachment, please change 'message_size_limit' setting
|
|
|
|
like below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# postconf -e message_size_limit='104857600'
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Restart postfix to make it work:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# /etc/init.d/postfix restart
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
__NOTES__:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `104857600` is 100 (MB) x 1024 (KB) x 1024 (Bit).
|
|
|
|
* Mail will be encoded by mail user agent (Outlook, Thunderbird, etc) before
|
|
|
|
transferred, the actual message size will be larger than 100MB, you can
|
|
|
|
simplily increase above setting to 110Mb or 120Mb to make it work as expected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you use mail clients such as Outlook, thunderbird to send mails, it's now
|
|
|
|
ok to sent large attachment with above setting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

### Change PHP setting to allow to upload large attachment
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should change `memory_limit`, `upload_max_filesize` and `post_max_size` in
|
|
|
|
PHP config file `/etc/php.ini`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* on RHEL/CentOS: it's `/etc/php.ini`
|
|
|
|
* on Debian/Ubuntu, it's `/etc/php5/apache2/php.ini`
|
|
|
|
* on FreeBSD, it's `/usr/local/etc/php.ini` for Apache, or
|
|
|
|
`/etc/php5/fpm/php.ini` for Nginx.
|
|
|
|
* on OpenBSD, it's `/etc/php-5.4.ini`. If you're running different PHP release,
|
|
|
|
the version number `5.4` will be different.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
memory_limit = 200M;
|
|
|
|
upload_max_filesize = 100M;
|
|
|
|
post_max_size = 100M;
|
|
|
|
```
