My concern is limited to the list-owner's perspective, where we've been
given a sizelim keyword, and hopefully we can use it without bothering
our postmaster (by having sizelim errors sent to him). So in the typical
case where a list-owner sets sizelim to some value less than MAILMAXL,
could a future version of Listserv take those messages which are less
than MAILMAXL but greater than SIZELIM and send them to the Errors-to
address instead of to the postmaster?
(As it stands now, in order to not offend my postmaster I have eliminated
SIZELIM from my list header. Thus, in practise SIZELIM is unavailable to
me even though technically it's an available option.)
