Conference virke::mrmemo

    
    Hi Luc,
    
    The 75 recipient limit is within the MEMO product. The best way is
    probably and ask the MEMO system manager if he can investigate whether
    the limit is configurable, or if there are MEMO versions available that
    don't have this limit. I tried to call my Verimation contact, but he's
    away for another week.
    
    I don't understand why you don't get non-delivery notifications. If
    your situation is analogous to 71 you should. What does
    MRMEMO$DIR:MRMEMO1.LOG say?
    
    The obvious workaround is to persuade the customer to make sure his
    recipient lists contain <75 recipients. If that fails and all
    investigations on the MEMO side prove negative, you can ask your
    customer whether he's prepared to pay a standard Digital consultancy
    fee for a customized version of MRMEMO that splits messages into nice
    little  pieces with <75 recipients. We have been known to do this kind
    of thing. The effort would be measured in weeks, not days or months.
    
    best regards,

Hello ,

I ran into this distlist problem as well.  Somebody tried to send to a 
distlist with 865 entries. Efect was, that the Gateway hang. Message got 
through from MEMO to MR, but the other way round was blocked, with alot of 
stackdumps etc. in the logfile, but no non-delivery or else.

What other restrictions like MEMO-size, line length limit, transparent 
transport of PC files etc. are known for a MEMO system ?
My customer would be very interested in those facts, as they have MEMo as 
their "mail backbone" and are a bit irritated by their limits (see above).

Thanks Ute

    
    Hi Ute,
    
    The MEMO size limit was originally (50 kB), but in recent MEMO versions
    this has been "upped" to 500 kB (there may be even more recent versions
    that support larger still messages, I haven't kept detailed track) I
    also think that the MEMO system must be explicitly configured to accept
    larger messages than the previous limit.
    
    The maximum message line size that can be passed through the MEMO Gateway,
    according to the protocol spec, is 255 chars. I don't know whether this
    limit applies to stand-alone MEMO as well.
    
    I'm afraid I don't know anything about how MEMO goes about doing
    transparent file transport.
    
    Your customer is very right in questioning MEMO's ability to work as a
    Mail backbone, especially if they plan to use MEMO to relay X.400
    traffic.

    
    I spoke to my friendly Verimation contact right now, and he confirmed
    that there is a (configurable) upper limit of 500 Kb.
    
    The 255 character line size limit applies to MEMO internally. You
    cannot create a document within MEMO that has less than 32 (!) or more
    than 255 chrs line size.
    
    cheers,
