Consequences of increasing email size from 16M to 25M

[Joolee]

afaik, there is also a limit to the size of messages handled by Mailscanner
at all, this can usually be configured to about 1 MB. All other messages
will not be considered spam because even virus spam is always just a few
kb. They 'need' to be send by the billions so every byte counts.
