Mailing attachment stops at 199K - UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

m1l · #1 10-03-2006

Hi,

I have a script which part of it mails an attachment. The command is

uuencode $v_file_name.zip "output.zip" | mailx -s "$v_subject" $v_to_email

There is a problem that it only sends 199K of an attachment. Is there a reason why it would stop at 199K? I've search the net and nothing so any help much appreciated.

199K looks suspiciously like something human-picked. I'd guess you've got a 200K limit on email size in your mailx/sendmail somewhere.

Corona688,

that would have been logical but I have just tried and I can send files larger than this without problems.
