Is that transport used *only* for transport to h-pp, or is it used for
other transporting as well (e.g. from local users to the world)? The
limit will apply to all uses. If you want just to limit mail to h-pp,
you should arrange for it to have its own private smtp transport.

... presumably because they are using the remote_smtp transport.

Do they go out through the remote_smtp transport? If so, that should not
happen. Can you send me more details?

That shouldn't happen either, if the mail is going through remote_smtp.
It isn't based on esmtp. It just looks at the size of the message.
