Hello,
though Nigel is totally right (If Exim does not announce SIZE when
you tell EHLO to it, you don't have to use the SIZE-feature),
you might help your poor customers.
If your are running 1.83, set message_size_limit to a very high limit,
and Exim will announce and process the SIZE feature.
It won't make use of it as a client.
Or become a beta tester of Exim 1.890, Exim 1.890 will announce
SIZE even if no limit is set (as it will check if the spool
space for the message is avaiable and reply with an 4xx-code
otherwise). It will as well make use of the SIZE-feature as
a client, and in a RFC-compliant way.
Greetings,
Georg
