Hi!

I've setup a Postfix like this, having on the submission port a bigger
value than the message_size_limit specified in main.cf

main.cf
message_size_limit = 10000000

master.cf
smtp inet n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
submission inet n       -       n       -       -       smtpd
  -o message_size_limit=20000000

What I found is that , even tough the SIZE announced in reply to EHLO
is correct (  10000000 for port 25 and 20000000 for the port 587 )
Postfix wouldn't  accept an Email bigger that  10000000.

At first it looked strange but after digging around the documentation
I found that cleanup also uses  message_size_limit and both default
and submission passes the message to the same cleanup service.

I'm writing this message so it could be in the archive to help other
with similar problem.

If it make sense,
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#message_size_limit could have a
note on this.


btw: I fix this by overrriding the cleanup message_size_limit

cleanup   unix  n       -       -       -       0       cleanup
  -o message_size_limit=20000000
