on a mail list I have, messages w/ attachments bounce with the error 
Message too long (>40000 chars).  However, in 
/usr/local/majordomo/lists/listname.config I have

maxlength = 0

so it should let a message of any size go through, right?  So why is it 
bouncing messages >40000 characters?
    

I dont know the code, but as a C programmer from Way back, if I was
debugging it, I would be suspiciously looking for a signed int
declarator in the source, that might somehow still be just living
in a 16 bit segment world. Which suspicion you might check, if not
a programmer, by seeing if messages a little less than 2^15 get
through ie 32767 (allow a bit less for header & footer too perhaps ?

Or maybe its a simple answer eg some other variable name needed ?

  
I figured it out a little while after posting.  The list was named REPP.museum and there existed /usr/local/majordomo/lists/REPP.museum.config and /usr/local/majordomo/lists/repp.musuem.conf.  I deleted REPP.museum.config and changed the maxlength = in repp.museum.config and all is well now.
