How can i limit cc in Plesk's qmail?

[xeroworld]

Hello.
I want to limit cc adressess for my clients to about 100 adresses. The thing is i can't find any qmail's config file where i can change it. I also searched in PLESK panel - nothing.

Any idea where/how can i change it?

Hi.

This time Plesk doesn't allow to limit amount of To:, CC: and BCC: addresses in
a mail
messages. However Qmail can be compiled manually with the
qmail-1.03-maxrcpt.patch patch which can be found at:
http://qmail.jms1.net/patches/qmail-1.03-maxrcpt.patch

But it requires advanced Linux administration skills. Please refer to
the following articles in regards to rebuilding qmail with custom
patches: 1088 <../article_22_1088_en.html> for Plesk 7.5.4 and 1161
<../article_22_1161_en.html> for Plesk 8.

To set the limit, create a /var/qmail/control/maxrcpt file which contains the
maximum number of recipients you wish to allow. If you don't want any limit, you
can either delete this file, or use 0 as the value.

Since Plesk 8.4 this is now possible, see:

Can anyone advise how to create this maxrcpt file as stated in http://kb.odin.com/en/1411? The file name is just going to be "maxrcpt" with no extension? Do I just plonk in a number into this file and that's it? Or do I need to define it like maybe "MAXRCPT 1000"? Thanks in advance!

qmail is a bit...shall we say "unusual" in the way it does things. So yes, just name the file "maxrcpt" and just put 100 in it. Make sure the owner and permissions are the same as other files in the same directory.

There's all sorts of other interesting things you can do with similar files:
