Subject: large attachment seems to hang elogd? 
Hello,

I am trying to attach somewhat large file (4-15MB files tested) with my messages but it seems to hang the elogd server for a really long time (30-100minutes). The file upload was done pretty soon (within a few seconds), then the elogd process seems to be busy doing something, using around 50MB of memory and 95% of CPU time, and stop respond to the requests. I can read the logbook with another copy of elogd running on another port, and I can see (and download) the uploaded file. I am wondering what could cause the problem --- and could it be related to the problem of not setting up the SMTP server right? Thanks for any suggestion!

Haitao

P.S. I read in some old message that if we want to upload very large files, we have to change the WEB_BUFFER_SIZE in elogd.c, however this parameter is no longer in v2.6.1. Is there something similiar I have to change?
