SUMMARY
The maximum message or file size that can be transferred across the
Microsoft Mail gateway is usually determined by the virtual storage
allotted to the gateway VM ID. If the virtual storage is set to
greater than 2 MB, the amount of disk space on the 191 A disk can also
act as a limiting factor.
When the Host Access component is started, a number of informative
messages appear on the screen, prefaced with an asterisk (*). The
second-to-last message states
* Maximum mailbag size (bytes) that can currently be processed:
followed by a number indicating the effective maximum message size for
items from the local-area network (LAN) and the Host. If the outgoing
mailbag file from the LAN is larger than this number, it will not be
uploaded to the Host. Instead, it is copied to the ERR subdirectory on
the server, and an error message is sent to the LAN administrator's
mailbox.
For messages or files sent from the Host, any items that are too large
are returned by the gateway to the sender, and a message is displayed on
the screen giving the reason for the rejection.
