Serving video off the cloud


2009

The website for Love never Dies features three videos, one of the Coney Island Waltz, and the other of the press release of the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. However, the video, run via the jquery plugin of an SWF video player is being served off http://cloudfront.loveneverdies.com. Which is in the cloud. (more…)

And we’re on 2.8.5 – the hardened version

Postfix maximum individual mail size and mailbox size


2009
10.14

If you’re getting the "5.3.4 Messag exceeds fixed limit” error, check on the default vs set values in your /etc/postfix/main.cf using
postconf -d (for the default)
and
postconf -n (for the values you have set manually in the main.cf)
Default for message_size_limit (maximum size per mail) is 10240000 (bytes, ie approx 10MB)

Up this to your desired value, eg 30MB by setting
postconf -e "message_size_limit = 30720000"
specifiying the size in bytes.
You can reset the maximum mailbox size using the same method (below just resets to the default value)
postconf -e "virtual_mailbox_limit = 51200000"

But you knew that already!
