Sisima...gTooBig(3pm)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, this is Sisimai::Reason::MesgTooBig — it's the vibe checker that tells you whether a bounce reason is literally "mesgtoobig" or not. that's it, that's the whole job 🎀

(also folding in the meta rn: this is a 3pm page, aka User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the whole thing is filed under Sisima...gTooBig iykyk)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use Sisimai::Reason::MesgTooBig;
print Sisimai::Reason::MesgTooBig->match('400 Message too big');   # 1

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Sisimai::Reason::MesgTooBig checks if the bounce reason is "mesgtoobig" or not. and listen — this class is only called by the Sisimai::Reason class. it does not freelance, it does not take walk-ins, it answers to one (1) caller 💅

so what is this error? it's the one where the email you sent is too big for the destination mail server. and in many cases, it's because there are a ton of attachment files riding along with the email, or one file is just. enormous. no cap. 📎😭

Sisimai will set "mesgtoobig" as the reason of the email bounce if the value of the Status: field in the bounce email is 5.3.4. like so:

Action: failed
Status: 553 Exceeded maximum inbound message size

👑 CLASS METHODS 👑

💜 text()

text() returns the fixed string "mesgtoobig". it's giving consistent. it's giving reliable. it's giving one job and doing it.

print Sisimai::Reason::MesgTooBig->text;  # mesgtoobig

---

🌸 match(string)

match() returns 1 if the argument matched with the patterns defined in this class. yes bestie, just a humble little 1 🫶

print Sisimai::Reason::MesgTooBig->match('400 Message too big');   # 1

---

⭐ true(Sisimai::Fact)

true() returns 1 if the bounce reason is "mesgtoobig". the argument must be a Sisimai::Fact object, and heads up — this method is called only from the Sisimai::Reason class. same energy as text() and match(), it's a very exclusive guest list 💌
