Yes. There has to be some limit, otherwise there is a risk of something
getting overwritten if the client just keeps on sending. The limit for
the contents of the C= log item is currently 100 characters. When I
wrote the code, I never thought anybody would use a message identifier
longer than that. The number is arbitrary. It could be increased to,
say, 256 easily enough. If you want to do it yourself, the 100 is in
line 958 of the deliver.c source file.
