Thread: Limit to mail size?

Is there a limit to the number of lines in a mail for this list? I have tried to submit a question on sequential scans that included the sql and plan - so is quite long - and the mail is not appearing.

40k in size is the max, then it goes through the moderator for approval

There's a size limit --- 20K or 30K I think.

Well, you could try including the plan as a compressed attachment, but
are you sure it's worth including at all?

BTW, you can configure majordomo to tell you when it's delaying or
bouncing a message.  I'm not sure why that setting isn't on by default.
