While I recognize that many email systems limit messages to some size,
generally no more than 3 MB, and I certainly don't try to send anything
that large without asking the recipient first, I don't know of any rule
that email *shouldn't* or *can't* be that size.

Still, it's hard to debug a problem that can't be reproduced.  What are
the stats of the machine on which tmda is having issues?
