I thought I'd answer my own post, in case anyone find this when searching the archives for a similar solution. I read http://www.squirrelmail.org/wiki/en_US/AttachmentSize, which says that to alter the maximum attachment size you must change three values: [memory_limit] [post_max_size] [upload_max_filesize] However, I tried simply creating an .htaccess file in my SM directory, containing just the following line: php_value upload_max_filesize 10M This has worked to increase the maximum attachment size from 2M to 10M. I successfully attached and uploaded a 8.7 MB file. Do I need to do anything else? Why does the Wiki state that those other two values also need to be changed? ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
