LTMPD rejecting large messages, maxmessagesize is _not_ set

[Roberto R. Morelli]

Look at the postfix config (main.cf).  The value to look at is 
"message_size_limit".  Had the same problem long time ago.

Mine is set to "message_size_limit = 512000000" Which is email size of 512MB 
(folks here use email like ftp .....)

Cheers,
Roberto
