On many systems, a maximum message size can be defined.  I beleive Hotmail
is about 1.5 MB.  (I had a 1.8MB msg fail to hotmail)  At work, we limit
all messages to 10MB *MAX*,  anything over 5MB is forced to low priority.

Subject
[LSTOWN-L] Help with DSN 5.2.3






I am confused by DSN code 5.2.3. According to RFC 1893, this code
indicates:

    A per-mailbox administrative message length limit has been
    exceeded.  This status code should be used when the
    per-mailbox message length limit is less than the general
    system limit.  This code should be used as a permanent failure.

I get a lot of these from Hotmail and MSN and don't know how to deal with
them based on the above. What do they mean? The account is over quota
(which
should be 5.2.2)? The account is disabled (which should be 5.2.1)? WTF do
they mean by "the per-mailbox message length limit is less than the
general
system limit"??

Thanks,
    peter
