Hm... the wiki says it counts bytes as stored on the disk - so I guess that
is in encoded format and thus I'd have to use 30M in my example...
Can anyone confirm?

One question I always had about it is this: does it set the limit for the
actual mail as it is being transmitted (e.g. with base64 encoded attachment)
or for the decoded mail+message parts?
Because a typical scenario is that a client asks to be able to send 20M
attachments. due to encoding, do I have to set databytes to (roughly) 1.5 x
20M = 30M or to 20M?

I don't know of a way to make it unlimited. I don't think you'd want to do
that anyhow. There are always limits, whether they're specified or not. ;)
You can however make it fairly large. I've made it up to 50M in some
cases. The drawback is that scan times on submissions of large messages
can result in timeouts. You should increase your timeout settings (server
and clients) if you bump it up much.
In the databytes file, if you enter a 0 (zero) this will set the max
message size to no limit.
The default is 20971520, or about 20M. There are some concerns with this
and the main issue comes into play in that you have no idea how large of
an email the remote will accept. If you set this to 100M, you could for
example, send me a 100M email, but I will bounce it due to it being over
20M in size. Different providers have different limits. I know at one
time years ago Hotmail was set to 6M, then they upped it to 10M. Not
sure what their current is.
We have some good information on the wiki on the databytes file:
