Still 250000 bytes maximum size is hardcoded for mailform attachments
0%
Description
People using the integrated mailform functions can't create forms, where users would be able to send attachments larger than 250000 bytes. This is really bad if you are using it i.e. as a contact form like this:
http://www.xposign.com/20.0.html
People can send large files of plans and maps here which is IMHO not very uncommon.
The value is hardcoded in class.t3lib_formmail.php, ahs been raised to 250000 a few versions ago but instead it should be replaced by a TS-config or TS-Setup parameter. The default could still be 250000 but it would be possible to raise this to a higher maximum without having to hack a core file each time you updated the source.

+1 for having a higher default value and making this configurable globally and/or with TSconfig.

You cannot set a vonfig for a t3lib-thingy per TS directly, but there could a) be a global default (localconf.php/installer) and b) a TS setting for FORM cObjects.

sounds good to me.
So a) would be the must have and b) the nice to have

please make it with a variable, e.g.
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['maxMailAttachmentSize']=250000;
So everyone can configure how he likes.

This is a long time "bug" (maybe not here in the buglist)

http://blog.bluehands.de/blogs/index.php?blog=6&title=typo3_form_mail_attachment_max_size&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1
so, it's not only in 4.1rcX...
Hope, this will be "fixed" in upcoming versions, 4.0.6 and 4.1...

Adding a config variable is a new feature, so it won't make it in to 4.0.x and as 4.1 went out only yesterday, you'll have to wait for 4.2.

ok, i take the chance and make a feature request for 4.2 :-)
i added a config-var and set the default a little higher to 400.000:
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['FE']['maxMailAttachmentSize']=400000;
Then i replaced the hardcoded value with the var.
patch is included.

Patch in core list, to be considered for 4.2.
