Can you describe in more detail what line_length_limit does? I
You are confusing two different parameters
- smtp_line_length_limit. This applies to SMTP.
- line_length_limit. Does not apply to SMTP.
Postfix will happily deliver mail with headers of up to 102400
bytes, except in the case of SMTP.

Yes, I buy that I'm conflating things, but my point is more than line_length_limit isn't fully
documented and I'm confused as to what it refers to/where in postfix it is applied.
"Upon input, long lines are chopped up into pieces of at most this length; upon delivery, long lines
are reconstructed."
Upon input *from what*? Upon delivery via SMTP and others? Or just local delivery, or...? Where is
the chopping done? Apparently after milters run, or is it before but only for local input? Is the
chopping done with the same <CR><LF><SPACE> that smtp_line_length_limit does?
