That is one impressively large spam email! Do you have header_maxsize set? header_maxsize total size of message header You're also probably better off grepping "exim -bP" as that should give you the running configuration in the unlikely event that the config file isn't the one being used. (Damn you PHP and your zillions of php.ini files!) If you do have message_size_limit and header_maxsize both set to something sensible and you're still getting a multi-GB message, then you may have found a bug. The header comes from their system adding a single header for every recipient they add to the email. I'm surprised that didn't kill the sending system. -- ## List details at https://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
