[fetchmail-users] fetchmail: SMTP error: 552 Message size exceeds fixed limit

[Stephen A. <fet...@ro...>]

Hello all... (my first post to this list).  I've just noticed this error
in my fetchmail log:

fetchmail: reading message [masked]:1 of 1 (
16681007 octets) fetchmail: SMTP error: 552 Message size exceeds fixed limit
fetchmail:  flushed

I found a previous problem like this, which suggested the local SMTP
service was refusing to receive it.  I use Postfix, so I did a grep on
the output of postconf, and this is what I get:

[root@samba ~]# postconf -d | grep size
berkeley_db_create_buffer_size = 16777216
berkeley_db_read_buffer_size = 131072
body_checks_size_limit = 51200
bounce_size_limit = 50000
header_size_limit = 102400
mailbox_size_limit = 51200000
message_size_limit = 10240000

Would I be right in thinking it's the "message_size_limit" that is
responsible for refusing the message?  If so, how big is the message
that fetchmail reported (16681007 octets)?  How does that compare with
bytes?

Many thanks,
Steve :)
