This is a jaded, cynical reply. But you haven't been answered before
now, so here goes. Your question will be answered, don't worry about
that.
> I am trying to set a size restriction of 3 meg on incoming files. I believe the command that I want to use is size_addition = 3072. But do not know where to put the command in the configure file.
Step 1: _please_ set line-wraps.
[ snip 26 line .sig ]
Step 2: please read RFC 1855 Netiquette Guidelines. Also known as
FYI0028; a few points need taking with a pinch of salt. A more
generally accepted line-length is 72 chars, not 65. Please at
least give consideration to that RFC.
Step 3: Know that your canonical reference for Exim is the Exim
Specification (+"NewStuff", which is an errata list for updates
since the latest documentation set). If you have the Exim
source, then look at doc/spec.txt; otherwise, browse the Exim
website, <URL:http://www.exim.org/>.
Step 4: A correction. It's not size_addition. That's for outgoing
emails. Search for size_addition in the spec, to see the
description of what it does. Second occurence.
You want "message_size_limit".
Step 5: Read the Spec; for Exim 3, chapter 7. For Exim 4, chapter 6.
That's the Exim config file, described in overview.
I'm feeling remarkably generous; I'll tell you "first section", and
leave you to figure out what the boundary is.

When I was younger I hated going to weddings ... it seemed that all of my
aunts and the grandmotherly types used to come up to me, poking me in the
ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped that crap after
I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.
