How can I change the maximum attachment size for Webmail?


This is actually not a limitaton of Webmail/SquirrelMail, but of PHP.

You will need to add/edit "
upload_max_filesize
" in
/etc/php.ini


OS X Server does not come with a
php.ini
file in place (it relies on the default values compiled into PHP).

If you haven't done so already, just create a new
php.ini
file and add:

upload_max_filesize = 5M
(or whatever size you need)

When done editing issue:

sudo /usr/sbin/apachectl graceful restart


Alternatively you can copy the supplied
/etc/php.ini.default
to
/etc/php.ini
and use it as starting point.

I do recommend to start with a new file though. Over time you can just add any parameters you want to differ from the defaults, while still keeping a clean and readable
php.ini
