qmail-limits - artificial limits in the qmail system


DESCRIPTION

       The  qmail  system is able to handle messages of any size,
       addresses of any size, mailing lists of any size,  and  so
       on,  except  as  limited  by the available memory and disk
       space.

       However, it imposes certain artificial limits:

       1.   qmail-lspawn silently limits the number of simultane-
            ous  local  deliveries to 120.  qmail-rspawn silently
            limits the number of simultaneous  remote  deliveries
            to 120.

       2.   qmail-queue  rejects  any  message  with  an envelope
            address longer than 1000 characters.

       3.   qmail-lspawn truncates any overly long  error  report
            from  a  delivery  program.  It appends a note saying
            that it did so.
