Increasing Attachment Size in Postfix

Postfix by default restrict attachment size to approx 10MB i.e. 10240000 bytes.

You can check it using following command:

postconf | grep message_size_limit

To change attachment-size to say 50 MB, run a command like:

postconf -e message_size_limit=52428800

Note:

If you are running a mail-server with SMTP/IMAP access, you need to change postfix attachment size only. I spent half-hour debugging dovecot to increase attachment size, just to realize that above change in postfix config was all I needed!
