The “message has lines too long for transport” error is a common issue encountered by users trying to send emails from their cPanel server. This error occurs when the message being sent exceeds the maximum line length allowed by SMTP transports.

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps required to resolve the “maximum line length for SMTP transports” error and ensure smooth email communication.
cPanel has added a configuration option that allows users to adjust the “Max Line Length for SMTP transports” setting and bypass the “maximum line length for SMTP transports” error.
To ensure that the “Message Has Lines Too Long For Transport” error does not occur, monitor your mailserver logs and email client logs for any errors. If you notice that the message is being rejected due to exceeding the maximum line length, you can adjust the limit accordingly to allow for longer messages to be sent.
While adjusting the “Max Line Length for SMTP transports” setting to a very high number can be an effective workaround for the “Message Has Lines Too Long For Transport” error on a cPanel server, it is not an ideal solution.
It’s important to use a value that accommodates the longest emails you expect to send without exceeding the maximum line length.
Another solution is to switch to a different email client, as this error is often related to the email client used by the end user. Some email clients may not format messages correctly, causing the message to exceed the maximum line length.
Switching to a different email client can potentially resolve the issue and ensure smooth email communication.
