Hi,

I had some problems due to this StreamMaxLength in the past where the
mail server (postfix) was stuck at scanning this >10M message and no
message was accepted anymore. Since then I've disabled StreamMaxLength
(=0) and the message limit is set on the SMTP server at 40MB thus this
will be the maximum data size received by clamav.
(I do think that the default 0 for StreamMaxLength is a good setting)

Thanks
