This is probably heavily discussed in a qmail FAQ or man page, but...
1. For all mail inbound (i.e., via SMTP), just put the number of bytes
(as in 2048000 for basically 2 megabyte limit) into
/var/qmail/control/databytes Chmod the file 644.
AND/OR,
2. If you want to have some people be able to send huge mails (like up to
8MB), you can set MAXSIZE="8120000" either in your tcpserver control file
on the line that will match their IP/IP range, like:
10.55.66.:allow,MAXSIZE="8120000",RELAYCLIENT=""
The setting of MAXSIZE in the environment by tcpserver will override the
/var/qmail/control/databytes setting, so you can use the databytes control
file number as a catchall. I actually use a line in tcpserver's control
file like :allow,MAXSIZE="1024000" to act as a catchall.

Give me a compiler and a box to run it, and I can move the mail.
