[Pkg-exim4-users] Where to change the message size limit

[Fernando M. Maresca]

Hi.
Don't quote:

dc_message_size_limit=5M


dc_ stands for debconf. Any constant in *.template in uppercase like
MESSAGE_SIZE_LIMIT can be defined in update-exim4.conf.conf by spelling
it in lower case preceded by dc_ .

Regards,

Fer
