I used both the web interface wizard in 1.8e and the PUT e-mail command to
add the Sizelim=2000k and then change it to Sizelim=3000k.  I did not get
any errors.  Here is my PUT command:

+++ start of header ++++
PUT THIRDTESTLIST LIST PW=xxxxxxxx
*
* This is a new Title after the PUT command
*
* .HH ON
* Sizelim= 3000K
* Sender= None
* Subscription= Open,Confirm
* Ack= No
* Confidential= No
* Validate= Yes,confirm
* Reply-to= Sender,Respect
* Default-Options= Repro,SUBJecthdr
* Errors-To= Owner
* Owner= [log in to unmask] (Feather Lacy)
* Owner= [log in to unmask] (Diana Harris)
* Owner= [log in to unmask] (Pete Brokaw)
* Owner= [log in to unmask] (Rachel Stewart)
* Owner- [log in to unmask] (Guy Falsetti)
* Notebook= Yes,c:\inetpub\wwwroot\archives\thirdtestlist,Monthly
* Notebook= Private
* .HH OFF
*
++++ end of headers +++
