Re: Limited email sending size

I've had similar problems in the past and they have always been solved by changing the mtu (maximum transmission unit) size.
As root issue the command:
ifconfig ppp0 mtu 1458
(change ppp0 to whatever your connection is).
If this solves the problem you may need to put the command in a startup script, on my system the correct place is /etc/rc.d/rc.local.
