I don't think anyone is actually sending any 16GB emails. It looks to me
as though the expansion which fails is {${value}K}, where value is the
value returned by your mysql{select users.maxmsgsize} lookup. So, the
16777215 is what is returned by MySQL as the value of the $local_user
users.maxmsgsize. of course, I may be wrong...
