This may not be BSDI specific, but hadn't seen it elsewhere so I thought I
would try here first.

Why is it that sendmail is deferring incoming mail that's larger than 8MB
(at least I definitely notice it on a 10MB message)?  The mail arrives
completely and is just held in /var/spool/mqueue and isn't transferred to
the user's mail directory.  There are no quotas setup, so it's not a quota
issue.  Admittedly, that's a large mail message, but it would be nice to be
able to accommodate it. 

Please CC: me on posts.

Thanks in advance.
