Hello?

Any advice please?

I am still getting those command time limit exceeded...any idea what would be causing this?
 
Seems there is huge size message was sent (message_size_limit = 10240000). And do not forget about uuencoding - usually it increase size to 33% (file with 1000 Kb will be 1333 Kb in UUE)
 
So is there any solution to avoid that even if the message size was big?

I mean..What exactly the cause of seeing those messages?
 
Just increase limits in Postix config. More details in Postfix documentation.
 
Appreciating more support please,

What limit needs to be increased in regards to my reported case?
