It could be either, depending on where the error message is coming from.
Sendmail has a "MaxMessageSize" option in its configuration file
(semdmail.cf) and the configuration file for a Majordomo list has a
"maxlength" line.
If the error message you mentioned is a standard Sendmail delivery error
report, then Sendmail is the culprit. Look through your sendmail.cf for a
line that says "O MaxMessageSize=xxxxxxx", where "xxxxxxx" is a number of
bytes. Change "xxxxxxx" to the desired maximum message size you want
Sendmail to allow, then kill -HUP <sendmail_pid> to make Sendmail reloads
its configuration.
If the error message is actually a message bounced back to the list owner
by Majordomo, then the list owner should modify the list.config to allow
larger messages. In the list.config, look for a line that says
"maxlength= 40000" (40000 characters is the default). Change the 40000
to the maximum message size you want the list to allow.
