[Dovecot] "Disconnected in APPEND" sometimes when with attachment
Hello!
When I send a message with an attachment bigger than some undefined size, the folllowing error appears in logs: "Disconnected in APPEND"
How to increase the allowed size or anything?

Dovecot is not an smtp server - it does not 'send' messages.
While 1.0.15 is old and you should upgrade (1.2.4 is current stable), upgrading won't fix your problem.
You need to fix this with your smtp server config.
Also, please don't paraphrase logs... post the entire set of relevant log lines - that would have probably allowed us to see what smtp server you were using and give more specific recommendation on next steps..

It means that client was saving the message with APPEND command, but then the connection got disconnected. There's nothing you can do about it on Dovecot's side. Potential reasons:
- broken software firewall / antivirus running on client computer
- something broken/misconfigured in network
- client bug
