Package: logcheck Version: 1.3.18 Severity: normal It's generally considered to be good practice to configure size limits on messages at the MTA level. Logcheck should have the ability to limit the size of its generated to comply with such limits. I'd propose that it should be configurable via logcheck.conf (rather than trying to autodetect it or something like that). Ideally logcheck would split the message across multiple emails if it has more data to send, but even just truncating the message, with a warning, is probably better than the current behavior of generating a message that the SMTP server won't accept.
