Hi all,
sometimes I get errors "523 Message length exceeds administrative limit."
otherwise I just get "534 SIZE=Message too big."

I guess the latter only happens when the sender politely says
MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> SIZE=10485761 to inform the server of the size.
I have no sizelimit file and no SIZELIMIT setting, I can successfully
send to myself a 7Mb attachment, however I found the above 523 message
for a file of only 3707563 bytes. How come?

I'm running 0.39.3 with a global filter installed: I know the size
of the message because the filter had already refused it (because it
was a partial zip that it could not scan for viruses). It sounds quite
strange that the administrative refusal came after antivirus blocking.
Is that a known fact or should I investigate how it happened?

AFAIK, the default limit is 10Mb for the size of received messages.
However the esmtpd has an ULIMIT set to 4096 (4096 what? Kb?).
Does that imply anything except memory allocation strategy?

TIA
Ale

the referred doc:
----------------
sizelimit
Maximum size of the message, in bytes, that Courier accepts for delivery.
Courier rejects larger messages. If sizelimit is set to zero, Courier
accepts as large message as available disk space permits. If the
environment variable SIZELIMIT is set at the time a new message is
received, it takes precedence and Courier uses the contents of the
environment variable instead. Changes to this file take effect immediately.
The SIZELIMIT environment variable is for use by individual mail submission
agents. For example, it can be set by the smtpaccess configuration file
(see makesmtpaccess(8) for more information) for mail from certain IP
addresses.

If sizelimit does not exist, and SIZELIMIT is not set, the maximum message
size defaults to 10485760 bytes.
