5.12 Maximum size of a message to a list
 
If users receive notification that their message was too large to be
sent to a list, you may want to examine the SIZELIM variable to evaluate
whether it is adequate for users on your LISTSERV. In the interests of
network resource economy, you should first evaluate the user's need to
send a large file and suggest sending the file in two parts if sending a
large file is only an occasional requirement.
 
SIZELIM= (default value taken from LOCAL SYSVARS variable MAILMAXL)
This keyword controls the maximum number of lines for an incoming mail
message to the list. You can raise it above MAILMAXL, but it cannot
exceed the LOCAL SYSVARS variable FILEMAXL. If this is a PEERED LIST,
make sure that you check with the PEERs' POSTMASTERS before changing
this.
