Something is definitely wrong here - if that is unset in your config, it should be 1M by default (set in Local/Makefile at build time). From the docs:

I would be very, very surprised if whatever OS your package has come from has overridden that with an insanely large number.
You don’t have any header rewrite rules, filter rules or something like procmail/formail/sieve doing anything weird, do you?
