ah, that's what I was looking at in the sequence the SMTP handshake.  Imail 
SMTPD doesn't log the full dialog as the Imail SMTP client does, ie, I 
can't see any SMTP line where Imail is emitting 250-SIZE messages.

So looking at Imail SMTPD dialogs, I was trying to see how Imail or other 
SMTP server would announce a 250-SIZE parameter before knowing the "RCTP 
TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]", since the per-domain and per-user limits would 
not be known at the point where SMTPD was emitting 250-SIZE.

>(unfortunately putting the error message straight on the queue rather than 
>just sending it, any progress on that bug Daniel??).

a msg? why wouldn't that msg-too-big-for-our-SIZE situation be handled in 
realtime in the SMTP protocol with an RFC821 response code?? ie, reject the 
msg as too big before it was sent.

Seems stupid to accept a 30-megabyte msg and then go see if that's too big 
for the recipient domain or mailbox.
