The character you enter for '‘' is not in the character set you specify (charset="iso-8859-1"); in fact, it's a control character. This is almost certainly a bug in your mailer. You should use the character '`' instead. > (two diff machines) I have already changed the limit in majordomo > config and don’t see any relavent limits set in sendmail.cf Any > ideas? > > ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- > <list@server.domain.com> > > ----- Transcript of session follows ----- > ... while talking to server.domain.com.: >>>> MAIL From:<user@domain.com> SIZE=2125825 > <<< 552 <user@domain.com>...

I'd be inclined to say "well don't do that then". 1 MB is already too large for mail messages. > How bout a list of files I can look at that could impose such > limits? It's set in /etc/sendmail.cf, as somebody else observed. But it's set for a good reason, and large mail messages cause serious resource problems for most systems, so you shouldn't send them.
