Excerpts from mail: 17-Jun-92 Problems with Messages over.. Ann Westine
Cooper(_at_)isi(_dot_)e (7426)
What can be done about requiring hosts on the Internet to accept large
messages, in particular over 50,000 bytes?
-- Ann & Jon
These limits are limits that individual system, network, or site
administrators make. They establish these limits for various reasons.
The restrictions may be rooted in the cost of a link, small bandwith,
mailer problems, etc...
I suspect that your options are limited to asking the postmasters of the
bouncing sites to increase or remove the limit or moving the recipients
affected by this onto a separate list where the report is split into
separate messages and mailed.
I am not aware of any policy standards in this area. RFC821 at least
does not address it.
