Hi qmailers,

I found a problem with the databytes check.

As it's explained in man pages, qmail-smtpd checks the message size 
AFTER writes it on disk. In addition to performance questions, this 
behaviour involves that CR+LF characters are changed by LF characters 
BEFORE the size check.

However other MTA's implement the size limit (as the ESMTP SIZE 
extension) checking the message size as transmitted through the 
network, i.e. with CR+LF sequence.

Since the difference between size meanings depends on each message's 
line number, it's very difficult to fit the qmail's size limit with 
others MTA's.

I read in previous posts that it's planned to include SIZE extension 
in qmail. I want to know when be available this extension or any 
workaround to use the network message size.

Thanks,
        David Jorrin.
