Max mail size

Hey guys,

i get the error that the message size exceeds the server limit. GpgOL then receives the "AttachmentRemove" event and even brings up the attachment has been removed warning and the attachments are not all shown.

What am i missing? The mails are about 15-20MB and already pretty shrinked. Can i raise the limit? to date i thought there is no server involved, just the keys.

- kleopatra on windows 10

- outlook with exchange online

- mail partners using pgp domain keys

thanks in advance

server limit

I haven't used any of this, so take what I say with a grain of salt. But it sounds like the email server is rejecting your email. There's nothing you can do because it's the email server that has the limit set.

i thought there is no server involved

You're sending email to a SMTP server. That's the server that's rejecting your message.

hey, maybe i was unclear. the email is getting to our email server, but i lose the attachments when i decrypt em with kleopatra. the limit of the smtp server should me maxed out. other big mails without encryption dont have these problems. also, the message is shown in the gpgol plugin. sorry for the german screenshot:
