[imp] Big attachment problem

[Kevin M. Myer]

See http://bugs.horde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1162 - lots of finger pointing, IMHO
about where the real problem lies, but it should be enough to understand whats
going on.  The problem is NOT that the machine isn't powerful enough to handle
large attachments - its that as IMP uses PEAR's SMTP routines, the size of the
attachment balloons in memory to a huge number (many times more the original
attachment size), which quickly hits any sane PHP memory_limit size.  The poster
of the bug stated in email to me that he could get attachments to go through if
he set the PHP memory_limit to 200M and thats simply not a solution.
