Sendmail: Increase header size?

Asked by Al_Gordon in FreeBSD

Tags: too, large, headers, sendmail, size

I have a Perl application running in FreeBSD that uses Sendmail to send about 3,000 emails to our membership base through a browser interface.

My question is: How do I increase the MaxHeadersLength to be greater than 32768 bytes?

I have set it to 262154, but I still get the following error message from Sendmail that tells me that I am exceeding the maximum header length of 32768:

'Headers too large (32768 max) '

Is there another parameter I need to set?

Here is that section of my sendmail.cf (Length set to 262154, I think):

# Maximum length of the sum of all headers
#O MaxHeadersLength=32768
#
# MaxHeadersLength increased 4x 20050703 for huge Bcc lists
O MaxHeadersLength=262154

Thanks for you rhelp.
