I don't think either of my servers would ever hit the 20mb limit. I
was just curious. My mail transaction time was a little slow and I was
looking into why. For some reason one of my machines was set at 102mb.

What's the maximum recommended message size? Is there any negative

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:
