Shouldn't that be documented for message_size_limit too?
The documentation specifies supported behavior. Setting the limit to zero is a really really really bad idea. A non-zero message size limit is the last defense against total mayhem. As it is not documented, the code that allows zero message_size_limit may be removed at any time in the future. Wietse
