Hi I have a LAN with a dial-up gateway. Mails are delivered to our remotely hosted mail server, and we collect mail with fetchmail (global /etc/fetchmailrc) started from ip-up.local once ppp0 is up (and the *fastest* line speed we get is 24kbps - *and* we pay the equivalent of 10 US cents per minute for *local* calls) I have limited fetchmail to not collect mails larger than 500,000 bytes (which I think is more than generous!) Problem: Mails larger than this limit remain on the remote host, and fill up and slow down subsequent fetchmail sessions (as these mails are repeatedly scanned, but not retrieved - I have to use an alternative manual method to delete them every so often) Desired: to automatically delete from the remote host, and send a bounce message to the originator - telling them the mail is too big and was not delivered. Any ideas? Brgds, Tony
