You have to rebuild Exim. In your Local/Makefile, put
MAX_INCLUDE_SIZE = whatever
and then rebuild. However, an included file of more than a megabyte is
likely to be quite inefficient. How many addresses does it contain? You
get the best performance out of Exim if you arrange to send mailing list
messages with no more than about 100 recipients (in order to get
parallelism in the routing).
