Issues with large files within emails

[dveos]

Hi, thank you very much for your work - it's really useful.

I've noticed issues with large emails / emails that include multiple attachments 20mb <

Which causes the script to no longer work. :(

Is there a way to possibly limit the email size the script will examine?

For example, no emails over 5mb ?

Thank you

We'll need to do some testing of this, thanks.

Thank you - if I can help in any way just let me know.

Hi guys, I have been testing with a specific email that includes approx 28mb of attachments. When I manually invoke the script it seems that it's exhausting available memory and causing a fatal error rather than suspected issues with the script.

But you know you can't send more than 20MB of attachments in a single email?

Hello, that is incorrect unfortunately (I was originally under the same impression).

I have successfully sent and received an email with attachments totalling 28mb both from Webmail, (hosted by Siteground and Sureserver) and Hotmail.

Outlook, gmail etc. do put limits when using their service but I've found on some servers (in particular Sureserver) there is no limit on attachment files sent or recieved.

Hi I've solved this by adding an attachment size filter. Thank you.

Can you please specify? Do you mean it rejects >20MB files?

So the current codebase gets stuck on emails that have attachments totalling 20mb + (although I havent tested the lower limit of what the script works with) resulting in the script to not complete.

To solve this issue, I've now added in functionality to ignore emails with a total size that exceeds 15mb

I'm quite certain that you cannot send more than 20MB of attachments.

That's what I thought, but it seems some clients don't limit their emails. For example:-
