The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision, version 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The maximum message or file size that can be transferred across the Microsoft
Mail gateway is usually determined by the virtual storage allotted to the
gateway VM ID. If the virtual storage is set to greater than 2 MB, the amount of
disk space on the 191 A disk can also act as a limiting factor.

When the Host Access component is started, a number of informative messages
appear on the screen, prefaced with an asterisk (*). The second-to-last message
states

   * Maximum mailbag size (bytes) that can currently be processed:

followed by a number indicating the effective maximum message size for items from
the local-area network (LAN) and the Host. If the outgoing mailbag file from the
LAN is larger than this number, it will not be uploaded to the Host. Instead, it
is copied to the ERR subdirectory on the server, and an error message is sent to
the LAN administrator's mailbox.

For messages or files sent from the Host, any items that are too large are
returned by the gateway to the sender, and a message is displayed on the screen
giving the reason for the rejection.
