linux qmail email messages appear to have an attachment limit but can't figure out where to up it
I am trying to figure out why I can't send a 20M file attachment from my server to an external address. I get a gmail 552 error and nothing.. I can send it internally to another address on the server. Where should I start?
Thanks for the help

@wesly_che
that is actually Qmail instead of gmail... my server uses qmail

OK, I see that file, but it is blank when I vi it.. do I write something in that file?
Add something like
50000000
(47,68MB)
50000000

I made it 50000000 still bounced back and made it 0 and it bounced back with the same error message 552, any other ideas?
did you restart qmail to take effect?

Here is what Qmail says... I wonder if this means the server I am sending it to is rejecting it?
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at ip-XX-XX-XXX-XXX.ip.XXXXXX XX.net.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<XXXXXXX@XXXXXXXX.net>:
XXX.XXX.XX.XXX failed after I sent the message.
Remote host said: 552 Sorry, that message exceeds the maximum message length.
