Email size

[CL1]

Hello everyone,

I would like to understand how FortiMail calculates email sizes, particularly when encryption is involved or more. The issue I’m facing is that the size varies inconsistently. I understand that factors like attachments influence the final size, but at times and very often, this instability causes emails to exceed the configured size limit, impacting their transmission. I want to avoid having to adjust the email size limit manually each time. Are there any solutions I might have overlooked? ?

Best regards

Hi CL1

To which value did you configure the size limit on you FortiMail.

Hello AEK,

Now it is set to 40 MB

Hi

I don't have a solution to your exact requirement but from my point of view I think that large files should not be sent by e-mail, but via other suitable solutions, like your corporate file hosting server, or similar cloud services like google drive, dropbox and so.

BTW I think 40 MB it is more that enough.
