Ferrari Mailing List: Willi Bounces

[Steve Jenkins (steve]

Willi:

I help Steve Cook with some of the minor list admin duties, and I get a copy
of all the mail that is rejected from the list for various reasons. You may
be happy to know that YOU are the winner of the "writes the most messages to
the list that never get processed" award! Congrats! :)

It's nothing personal, the decisions are made "automagically" by the List
Management software. In some cases its because there are too many recipients
(which the software things is probably SPAM or a chain letter), or because
the message is too large (most likely attachments), or for some other
reason.

In an effort to help you and others, as well as lower the admin overhead,
I've decided to post the bounce reasons here as they happen so that you and
the rest of the list members can learn what keeps certain posts from getting
through, thereby avoiding the frustration of "hey - I know I sent that, but
nothing happened!" (you're not the only one who bounces, but you're the best
teaching example, and you've got thick skin, so I figured you could take
it). :)

Reason: Message body is too big: 647065 bytes with a limit of 101 KB

This means you posted a message that was almost 7 times too large, and in
this case it was because you tried to attach three files with your post.
Only VERY small attachments are approved by the software, so most photos
will be over the 100K limit. If List Members want to send photos, they need
to make sure they are under 100K, and only send one at a time (unless their
combined size is under 100K).

Happy Emailing!
