I have a Reportcaster job sending an Excel spread sheet with 10 tabs, 600 lines each and getting the following error?

unable to distribute 552 5.3.4 Error: message file too big

Anyone know how to increase the size limit?
This appears to be the Mail Server on Reportcaster.

Yes. This is the error in the ReportCaster Log. Can't find anything on IBI site about it. I Googled it and got some information, but nothing that helped.

How big is the generated file ?

Could the SMTP server have a limit on email size ?

You should be able to get the limit, if the SMTP server supports it with a telnet session.

e.g.
telnet {smtp server} 25
EHLO {Email address or user}


On my mail server this is what I get:
EHLO waz@myserver.com
250-myserver.com
250-SIZE 20480000
250 AUTH LOGIN
quit
221 goodbye


The SIZE response gives you the limit.

Depending on the SMTP server you may not get a limit or the EHLO command may not work.

Hope it helps, it is one the technical side. But the telnet test is very common.
