Large email messages

have a client trying to send scanned images thru email. He is using
RoadRunner with a 10 mb limit for an email. On Friday, I was sent a 5 mb
attachment that did come thru, but it took 30 seconds for the message to
leave the clients mail box. I did think this was a bit of a long time, but
suggested that he send each item in it's own email only after the last one
had cleared his out box. He stated that he would do this, but on Monday we
had several messages stuck in his out box. After deleting the messages, he
is not able to send any message larger than an average of like 20 kb.

Here are some other details.
Using Exchange Server for internal email and shared calendar. RR
account is set for the default.
* Removed Exchange Server from his profile. Same Results
Using Trend Micro Antivirus on the Server and Workstations
* Turned off Trend both at the workstation and at the server Same
Results.
Went to another computer and tried to send the same attachment,
* Sat in the outbox for 3+ min. Then we deleted it. Seems to
indicate that it is not local to his computer, but in the network.
The file being attached was on the server, so made the file local to
his computer
* same results.

I am at a loss as to where to turn next. We are using a cisco firewall, but
there is not a limit to set for mail. What else should I look at? Any help
would be welcome

I think it totally depends on his SMTP server. What server does he have
configured for this? I would find out, and then give the service provider a
call...

Also 30 secs for a 5 MB attachment sounds ok, since the attachment has to be
UUEncoded (or MIME64 or whatever) into the email message, there is actually
more than 5 MB being uploaded as part of the email. (Maybe something closer
to 6 MB or 5.75 MB).

As a last resort, he could set up your own SMPT (receiving) server as his
SMPT server when sending you emails, but ISPs have lots of restrictions
these days, and one of the most popular ones is to deny access to any
external SMTP server other than the ISP's own.

Sorry, can't type... SMPT = SMTP

he is using the roadrunner smtp server, and a quick call to them told us that
he does have a 10 mb limit. Thought the next step was to see if we could
send it thru the web interface, and also setup another smtp with unlimited.
Will try this in the am.

Thank you for your quick reply

I have written a script to send an email to a large list of emails, it works fine except for one slightly major thing. Each email needs to have the receipient's email address at the bottom of the message for removal purposes. This requires crafting a seperate email for each person. And therefore I must send an individual email for each person. The problem is rate. I need to know how I can rate limit the outgoing messages, and/or make my...

Looking at the email package, it seems all the MIMExxx classes takes string but not file object as the payload. I need to handle very large MIME messages say up to 100M. And possibly many of them.

hi, fist the context: I have a web server which query a mySql database. but as the number of parralel queries increase, the server slows down too much. I got 2 ideas, one of which is to run N deamons which effectively execute requests. the PHP uses message queuing(1) to queue queries request to the daemons. but the answer may be quite large, larger than messages the message queueing service can handle.

I'm having troubles with a script that uses the get_payload function. My script just works perfectly if I use it with attachment up to 8 Mb. If the attachment are more than 8 Mb large, the script exits with a TypeError exception. IMHO when get_payload try to convert the attachment in a single string it occours in some size limit. How can I fix it? I'm using python-2.3.3 on a SuSE 9.1 distro

Hi, I'm moving a database from 7.0.2 to 7.3.3. The db contains several thousand large objects that I need to export. To do this I've managed to modify the contrib/pg_dumplo utility from 7.3.3 so that it works with 7.0.2, but I need to confirm a few things before I can be confident that I can proceed. When I run the modified pg_dumplo in 'show only' mode it reports about 8500

Hi all, a few days ago, I upgraded from PostgreSQL 7.2.1 to 7.4, following the instructions in the INSTALL file, including dump and restore. All this worked fine without any error (message).

It seems they were generated by postgres internally but I cannot see when and why. How can

I need to design a solution that will be handling high volume (1-2 per second) and fairly large (80-100K) messages. I am concerned about wheter WCF messages end up on program call stacks. Should I have any concerns about this? Does my choice of transport make a difference? For instance, MSMQ seems well suited for asynchronous large messaging. Thanks for any thoughts. -- Charlie

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
