Attachment size too big

[desynced]

One of my DirectAdmin servers is having a problem with attachments being sent from hotmail. The attachment size is 5.8MB. In exim.conf, I have the maximum attachment size set to 20MB.

The error message that the senders are getting:

Note: I removed the email address (*Removed*) for obvious reasons.

Update /etc/exim.conf and set message_size_limit as big as you need.

The error looks like its from hotmails server not yours. Check /var/log/exim/mainlog. Where are you getting this error from...your email client?
