I have set up a Sympa list serv server and everything is working fine for the most part. One issue that I am running into is sending files over ~580 KB in size (just a normal .txt file) are not going through. I am getting the following error.
Impossible to distribute your message for list 'list-name' because of an internal server error.
I have verified that my "Maximum message size (max_size)" setting in Sympa is get to 5 MB so that shouldn't be the problem. If I try sending the same .txt file after taking out a few lines, and the file size is ~530 KB, then it works just fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Got it fixed.
It was a problem with the database not being able to handle the packet size. I had to manually edit the /etc/my.cnf file and bump up the max_allowed_packets size and then restart mysqld.
I'd say this has something to do with php settings variables upload_max_filesize and memory_limitphp. They're normally somewhere in php.ini, depending on your OS and Webserver.
