Thanks for all the replies, Consensus is that I should uncomment the O MaxMessageSize=nnnn line in sendmail.cf, setting nnnn to the size in bytes that we require the limit to be, and restart sendmail. Also, in response to: will MaxMessageSize work for outgoing emails? Yes, basically as far as sendmail is concerned it treats all emails as incoming when it receives them, whether from the local host for a remote host, or from a remote host for the local host or for relaying, and therefore runs its rules. The SIZE keyword was a bit more difficult, most said that if it wasnt specified or was 0 it would be infinity, so we're going to wait & see what happens.

Any ideas please?
