    There's no such option in exim as determining the size of an attachment means converting back from BASE64 to the original file format. However, you can restrict the maximum size of a message using:

    message_size_limit = 5M

    That will put a 5MB message size limit on email if you put the line in the first textarea of the Advanced Mode editor in WHM > Exim Configuration Editor.

    Is this true? 50 MB? When you checked, where did you check? Trying to determine this myself.

    Here is another way to check the size limit:

    brunnhild# exim -bP | grep message_size_limit
    message_size_limit = 50M
