I have no idea right now what kind of error code was returned back
(in the meantime we called them and lifted the limit). All I could
find in the book (13.3.1) relating to message_size_limit makes me
think that it's a temporary error.
From what I saw, the remote side just clinged to the same local
exim process here, so that's definitely not the way dealing with
temporary errors is intended ;)
I took a look at the mail later after it had arrived. It was MS
outlook through some firewall. I don't know if the latter relayed or
just NATted.
Cheers,
vt
P.S.: I just browsed the online docs to find out that the response
to incoming messages exceeding message_size_limit is a 552. So their
mail setup is definitely broken. *sigh*
