Note that, perhaps unintentionally, the treatment of "message_size_limit
= 0" is not documented to mean "no limit". Perhaps we should also
address that.
I asked about that some years ago and Wietse told me that it is
intentionally not documented:
http://postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/value-of-zero-not-documented-for-message-size-limit-td66874.html
I just had this come up in the IRC chat room. It is becoming apparent
that even though message_size_limit=0 has undocumented behavior a not
insignificant number of people have come to be using it in their configs
and when postfix 3.4 hits mainstream releases we will get a lot more
complaints about this.
Can we either (1) fix this with the patch mentioned before in this
thread and document the behavior, or (2) still fix it but add in a
warning that fires on startup if this setting is 0 to try to encourage
people to change it?
