Don't do that. You've configured Qmail to allow up to a Gig of RAM per SMTP
connection. I can connect to your mail server, send a message with 100000000
recipients of 1000 chars each, and YOUR SERVER WILL CRASH. This is a
known "feature" of Qmail BTW - which is why you are told to run softlimit in
the first place.

This is totally documented in Qmail-Scanner: please spend some time and
reconfigure so that softlimit is "enough" for your environment - instead of
just setting a wildly high value.
