9.01 - Mail Attachment too large error

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

After upgrading from 8.5 to 9.01, Domino users are getting the error message:

"Error: “file.xyz” is too large. Contact your server administrator if you need to upload a file larger than 97656.25KB’

This didn’t happen previously when uploading large files. Also, the “Maximum Post size” is set to a far larger number as well as the “Maximum size of request” (set to 0 for unrestricted)

Any suggestions?

thanks!

Subject: AttachZIP restricts attachment size per user

Download AttachZIP to restrict attachment size for each user. It allows you to specify maximum attachment size for specified IBM DD groups.

i.e. AttachZIP - restrict attachment size

Maximum attachment size: 10240 KB for default users
20000 KB for IBM DD group 2: AttachZIP HR users
30000 KB for IBM DD group 2: AttachZIP Accounting users
40000 KB for IBM DD group 3: AttachZIP IT users

Otherwise, you can globally restrict message size for Notes users, and globally restrict messages size and attachment size for iNotes users as seen below.

IBM Notes: Restricting message size

  1. Open DD Server configuration settings document - Router/SMTP tab - Restrictions and Controls tab - Restrictions tab, then change field: Maximum message size

IBM iNotes: Restricting message size and attachment size

  1. Open DD Server configuration settings document, then click IBM iNotes tab and change field: Maximum attachment size (kb)

Subject: iwaMAS?

The value is checked against something called iwaMAS that is set by config or policy. Not sure if that helps…

Subject: attachement size

I’m assuming that iNotes issue.

Two settings needs to be modified:
In the Server document - Internet Protocols - HTTP - Maximum Size of
Request
In the Server or Web Site document - Internet Protocols - Domino Web
Engine - Maximum Post data

Then HTTP task needs to be restarted. Check all your web site documents, if any.

Also, check if you have any mail rules on this server.
