Thanks for the suggestion, but when Postfix rejects a message because it's too big, Postfix generates the bounce; it doesn't wait to deliver it via LMTP and then complain that LMTP gave a bad return value (which is nonsensical, if Postfix is rejecting the message). Re-read the error message; note that Postfix is merely reporting the error it got from LMTPD. For the message in question, here's the Postfix queue manager receiving it: Jun 25 13:58:47 vostok postfix/qmgr[9323]: 58A6373D6F6: from=<sender@xxxxxxxxxxx>, size=16243093, nrcpt=1 (queue active) >From main.cf: message_size_limit = 20480000 16243093 < 20480000 I can also see the message being processed by the cleanup daemon, which is the daemon that would be bouncing the messages if they were too large. This remains a problem with LMTPD.
