I updated Wikipedia so it says 137%. the expansion is actually 4/3 * 78/76 == 1.3684. we set the limit to 29 MiB for Exim, but tell our users the limit is 20 MiB. (also notice that Exim erroneously uses "M" to mean mebibytes, not megabytes.) -- Kjetil T. -- ## List details at http://www.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://www.exim.org/eximwiki/
