exim 1.90 certainly works as expected; so I am surprised by this. What
SIZE information does exim give you if you say EHLO to it?
Also, it might be the case that if you are setting the message_size_limit
to some value below what the RFCs insist be allowed then maybe exim is
going with the RFC limit. However, it is unlikely that exim would do
that without it being documented, and I believe that the RFC limit is well
below 265K (but I couldn't find it to check).
