databytes
Maximum number of bytes allowed in a message, or 0 for
no limit. Default: 0. If a message exceeds this
limit, qmail-smtpd returns a permanent error code to
the client; in contrast, if the disk is full or qmail-
smtpd hits a resource limit, qmail-smtpd returns a
temporary error code.
databytes counts bytes as stored on disk, not as
transmitted through the network. It does not count the
qmail-smtpd Received line, the qmail-queue Received
line, or the envelope.
If the environment variable DATABYTES is set, it
overrides databytes.
Notice the last paragraph! this can make it possible to have selective
rules for different IP-ranges.
