Обсуждение: Marc: please change defaults on header size limits
Marc, I've been running into this kind of bounce a lot lately on the various lists I admin: Your message to press has been delayed, and requires the approval of the moderators, for the following reason(s): The message headers are too large (4442 > 4096) ... it seems like the default limit of 4096 bytes is niggardly for modern e-mail. Can we raise the default on all MJ lists to something more realistic, like 16K? -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com

Can we allow someone who is subscribed to one PostgreSQL list, post to any of them? I end up approving loads of messages which get cross-posted, especially when they are large threads. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com

Note that this is a very easy setting to change: you have to set "restrict_post" to "GLOBAL:". I agree that this is a very useful setting. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
I could, but I thought there was a specific reason why we decided nto to last time this was brought up (it has been awhile) ... ease of spammers to subscribe to one list but hit all, maybe?

Maybe we should try and see how it works. I don't remember any discussion about it last time it was raised. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

Marc, when a request is made, I track it, meaning I keep it in my mailbox until it is complete. Please reply to requests to tell the group you have completed something so I can stop tracking it.
