SAP Note 1171138 - Size restriction for outbound e-mails

Version: 1

Validity: Valid Since 20.05.2008

Symptom

You want to ensure that only e-mails under a particular size are sent using the SAPconnect SMTP interface.

Other terms

SMTP, mail, SCOT, send process, RSCONN01, MIME

Reason and Prerequisites

Notes 690020 and 837300 already provide options to restrict the size of outbound e-mails. You can reduce the value of the profile parameter mpi/total_size_MB. However, this can affect other applications. You can also set the size for individual documents (body parts). This merely prevents terminations (TIME_OUT, SYSTEM_NO_ROLL) when data is processed

internally. You cannot restrict the size of a complete email without the likelihood of other applications being affected.

Solution

Implement the corrections using the Note Assistant, or import the relevant Support Package.

You can then set the maximum size of an outbound e-mail by setting a new parameter in the table SXPARAMS. You can maintain the table SXPARAMS using transaction SM30 or transaction SOST -> Utilities -> General Parameters.

Parameter                                        Parameter value

MAXLEN_MIME_MESSAGE_SMTP     0 ... 999999999999

The parameter value determines the maximum size of an e-mail (in bytes) that may be sent using the SAPconnect SMTP interface. The value 0 means: No restriction
