This is not a MailScanner error but a Postfix one. Check main.cf for
message_size_limit option and adjust accordingly. This happens when a mail
server that doesn't understand ESMTP (Where the message size parameter is
checked) sends a file. In plain SMTP the message size parameter is not
checked and relies on the MTA bouncing the message.

I would guess the incoming MTA is an unpatched qMail server.
