The message_size_limit applies only if it's >0.

        If (there is any line longer than 998 bytes) {
                the message is not allowed to be longer than 1 byte
        }
        else {
                do not apply any limit to the message size
        }


For SMTP it's solved in the ACL, for non-SMTP it's a bit more
tricky but should work as shown above.

    +------------------+---------------+-------------+----------+
    |message_size_limit|Use: transports|Type: string*|Default: 0|
    +------------------+---------------+-------------+----------+


    This option controls the size of messages passed through the transport. It is
    expanded before use; the result of the expansion must be a sequence of decimal
    digits, optionally followed by K or M. If the expansion fails for any reason,
    including forced failure, or if the result is not of the required form,
    delivery is deferred. If the value is greater than zero and the size of a
    message exceeds this limit, the address is failed. If there is any chance that
    the resulting bounce message could be routed to the same transport, you should
    ensure that return_size_limit is less than the transport's message_size_limit,
    as otherwise the bounce message will fail to get delivered.
