But you do know, that just because your MTA does allow mails bigger than
200MiB (which will be ~130MB before base64 encoding), other MTA will
accept those mails.

I can tell you, that most ISPs or mail services have a limit somewhere
between 30MiB and 50MiB (after encoding).

So increasing your local message_size_limit does nothing for you, if you
want to send those big mails elsewhere.

Sven.
