2833.0. "MAXIMUM MAIL ADRESS LENGTH" by STKHLM::LUNDSTEDT () Wed Jun 09 1993 15:40

    
    Hello,
    
    What is the maximum length for the electronic mail adress?
    I would like to know the exact length in 2.4, 3.0 and if there are
    any exceptions!?
    
    
    
    Regards,

2833.1as always, it dependsFORTY2::ASHGrahame Ash @REOThu Jun 10 1993 13:4711
Anna,

Can you be a bit more precise with the question? Addresses can be supplied in 
various ways and in different subsystems. A lot of work has gone into removing 
ALL of the possible restrictions, but there ar still limits on how much you 
can type into an FMS form for instance.

Basically, I think the actual limit is probably 2000 (maximum length of a DAF 
attribute?), but there will be smaller limits elsewhere I suspect.

    on the restrictions in address lengths for nicknames, network.dat etc

2833.3MAILADDR and EMDADDRESS?STKHLM::LUNDSTEDTTue Jun 22 1993 12:3614
    Hello,
    
    =>Don't forget STARS?
    
    I did find som really good articles in STARS thanks.
    
    The main interest is the maximum bytes in mailaddr and emdaddress?
    They have different sizes depening on version so that is of 
    interest too.
    
    Happy Midsummer,
