Most versions of sendmail don't limit incoming message sizes (except
for the disk space available in the queue). However, there are limits
on outgoing message size. Look in your sendmail.cf file for lines
beginning with the letter "M" -- if they have something like:
Mfoo ... M=100000 ...
then message size limiting is enabled. Remove the M= part or set it
to a larger number.
