Go to the Exim specification for the version you are using (www.exim.org
and follow the "Documentation" link). Find the concept index. Lookup
"size".

RTM :

http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.00/doc/html/spec_13.html#IX835

Incoming SMTP messages are failed with a 552 error if the limit is
exceeded;

That option does what you are asking for.

As opposed to what?

The message_size_limit affects the size of messages exim will accept..
If exim is accepting a message, it is by definition an 'incoming'
message.

I think you are understanding a different meaning of that term than we
are..


Here are some examples, which I think might clear you up...


Some person out on the 'Internet' sends a message to foo@esnalo.org. He
delivers it to his ISP's mail server, which in turn connects to your
server. This is an 'incoming message', as it is coming in from another
host. Your server accepts it (assuming thats a valid address), and
delivers it. (possibly into /var/spool/mail/foo, if thats where your
user mailboxes are)

Some person who is one of your customers, sends a message to
foo@esnalo.org. He delivers it to your server. This is also, still, an
'incoming' message, as it is 'coming in' from your customer. Your server
accepts it, and delivers it. (same as above)

Some person who is one of your customers, sends a message to
foo@yahoo.com. He delivers it to your server. This is also, still, an
'incoming' message, as it is 'coming in' from your customer. Your server
accepts it, and delivers it. (probably by usimg SMTP to deliver it to
the MX hosts for yahoo.com)
