Server foot exceeded the limit of 4095 ASCII chars. [message #151904]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a HTML signature (image data hosted on public facing web server). I'm getting "Value 'Footer' exceeded the limit of 4095 ASCII chars". The HTML raw source is as small as I can realistically make it without sacrificing some content/formatting - is there a way around this? If not, is there a way of pointing the signature to use HTML from a file already on the internet, like an include of some sort? Many thanks, Dave.

The maximum length of the signature is 4095 ASCII Characters. Please refer to the following: https://manuals.gfi.com/en/kerio/connect/content/email-clien ts/kerio-connect-client/configuring-your-kerio-connect-clien t-1196.html

Unfortunately, there is no workaround, however, your feedback will be shared with the backend team for further review for future versions of Kerio Connect.

Indeed, I'm aware of the limitation, but was asking also if anyone knew of a workaround, possibly using HTML to include from another file? e.g. iframe or something similar? Thank you.

How are you creating the signature source? We have signatures at the client level, not the server. But, the "Plain" HTML version, which uses 2 fonts in 2 different sizes each, loads an remote image, has links to 3 social media presences along with the contact data for the user, is just over 2,000 characters, even with lot's of white space. The same signature created & saved in OutLook is 40,000 characters.

I've managed to get the HTML source down to 5000 chars - the main problem is the layout - lots of divs and such like. Also four images (for social media links) - it all adds up VERY quickly when you're limited to 4K (like going back to 80's).

Showing my "old timer" bias here, but if you require "lots of divs<>", you're writing a web page, not a signature block.

OK, but without them how do you position text and images?

At this point, I think you and I will philosophically diverge.

I don't care much for excessive formatting, images, etc. in an e-mail signature. That said, I've found that older HTML syntax (<table>) to be more economical when it comes to the number of characters requires to display something than CSS.

Dave,

I've been in your shoes, so to speak.

Once you've tested your signature, try stripping out everything like white space (spaces, tabs, returns, etc.). Also, if you can shorten up path values for the various images, that will help.

Try those and let us know.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Jon

Hi Jon, I've done just that, filtered out as much detritus as possible - shortened class names, you name it - got it down from 8000 chars to 5000, so that was going some, but still a thousand to go. Looks like we're going to have do a simpler design!
