hello there, i want to increase message size limit value. i guess its now 20mb limited. i searched message_size_limit parameter on exim configuration manager > advanged editor section but nothing founded. also dig /etc/exim.conf file but message_size_limit this parameter not seen :) i did not remember to delete this parameter but i remember i made some modifications on exim.conf file. really i dont remember what i did before :) is there any parameter checks attached files sizes? if i add message_size_limit parameter on additional configuration settings section, does it resolve?

  I believe that cPanel defaults to 50MB for email message size if you don't define anything else. I am not clever enough to be able to tell you what to look for if you added the message_size_limit parameter anywhere else other than in the WHM Exim Configuration Manager, but here are the instructions that might jog your memory. 1) Go to your Advanced Editor in the Exim Configuration Manager and scroll down until you get to the blue "Add additional configuration settings" button and click on the button. 2) As soon as you click on the button, immediately above it will appear a drop-down which contains an option message_size_limit which will display the Exim Default: 50M after you select it. 3) Enter the new value you want (Don't forget to scroll to the bottom and SAVE after editing) >>OR<< 1) Search the Advanced Editor in the Exim Configuration Manager screen for the message_size_limit parameter you may have set previously, and edit the value as necessary (Don't forget to scroll to the bottom and SAVE after editing)

  If you have no size limits set anywhere, you probably default to 50M (Exim Default) Check in a terminal withexim -bP | grep message_size_limit
  It will return message_size_limit = 50M if nothing has been set to override it.

  Hello, You have to add it as a new value:

  ) Go to your Advanced Editor in the Exim Configuration Manager and scroll down until you get to the blue "Add additional configuration settings" button and click on the button.

  
  Thanks!

  Wouldn't this be dependant on the recieving server ? Whilst you may be able to send a 50mb email, the recieving server may not be able to receive it. ??

  Hello, Can you verify the output you see in /var/log/exim_mainlog when the message delivery attempt fails? EX: exigrep "MSGSUBJECT" /var/log/exim_mainlog
  Replace MSGSUBJECT with the subject of the test message. Thank you.

  kaizur Unfortunately the steps detailed above are performed from WHM not from cPanel. WHM is the cPanel account manager, if you don't have access to WHM you can ask your hosting provider for help with the issue.
