=== Attachment Size Limits === | |||
:'' via David Bienvenu'' | |||
Each SMTP server may have its own limit - we get this information when we connect to the SMTP server so it is possible to persist this value the first time we connect to the SMTP server. But we also have to consider the receiving SMTP server; likely we'd probably set a hard max limit (e.g. 50MB). | |||
The other issues are that for calculating the size, you need to account for that fact that we will base64 encode the attachment, which more or less doubles the size, and if the message is signed/encrypted, it might triple the size. We don't know exactly until we construct the message, but we can make an educated guess. | |||
