This wasn't a good idea.
Exim did not seem to reject the configuration but, after making this
change last thing at night, the next morning we found no inbound
emails, and a paniclog full to the brim with:
invalid message_size_limit: invalid integer "100M###{49 x #}#"
Exim didn't like 100M. The report seems (to me) to indicate Exim
didn't like the 'value', rather than anything in the 'syntax'. As
though 100M is a valid number syntactically, but 100M is an invalid
value for this parameter. That is my reading of the message.
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-main_configuration.html
(a long way down the web page)
makes no comment about the permissible number range, though.
I've commented out my setting in localmacros. Later I will try
various other values to make sure that my syntax, at least, is correct.
regards, Ron
