Edit the config file for the new list and change the following line:
# maxlength [integer] (40000) <resend,digest>
# The maximum size of an unapproved message in characters. When
# used with digest, a new digest will be automatically generated if
# the size of the digest exceeds this number of characters.
maxlength = 40000
Up it to what ever you think your largest attachment will be plus more for encoding
pad. Remember all email attachments are encoded into ASCII in order to be
transferred. Email does not really send anything in binary format. All non-ASCII
formats must be converted to ASCII first, then are decoded when they are received.
Thankfully now a days this happens automagically. ;-)
