Title: Truncated email
Post by: Redeye on April 30, 2004, 02:16:48 PM
Sent an email to all 88 members and it was truncated after about 6 lines.
Is there a limit to the size of the email?

Never heard of that happening before, except when an email is bounced. Are you using sendmail or SMTP?

SMTP.

It's not the host because it seems everyone of the emails was the same.

Actually, it most likely is your host. I just sent myself a test email via SMTP via my test board that was well over 6 lines long, and it got to me in one piece. Talk to your host about it.

What would lead you to that assumption?  I'm not questioning your validity, I'd just like to know your reasoning.

Also, when you sent yours, how many people did you send it to? Not sure if that's a variable, but I'm curious.

Anyone from the dev team have an opinion on this issue?

I'm positive this would be an issue with your host, because the mail functions don't do anything to the message that would cause it to get truncated. It shouldn't matter how many users you're sending it to either.

Looks like it was a one-off.
I've just sent a test email of about the same size and it seems to have gone through with no problems.
