After more than 20 years with fetchmail, we plan to switch to fdm and we are currently testing it. We have it nearly working as intended, but there is a show stopper:
The upper limit for maximum-size seems to be 1 GB (1024 MB), which is way too low. Is it possible to deactivate the size limit at all (e.g., set maximum-size 0 could mean that there is no maximum size, but this currently not the case)? If this is not possible, could the upper limit for maximum-size be increased to at least 1 TB?
I assume that the upper limit for maximum-size is a const or a #define in the source code. I eventually could spot it and then compile my own version. But I am unsure about the side effects. For example, if there are situations where fdm tries to load a certain percentage of a message into memory, it would be a bad idea to have set maximum-size 1024G in the configuration file.
Could you please give a short hint about the side effects of increasing the upper limit for maximum-size?
Dear nicm,
at first, thank you very much for fdm!
