I got this error reported twice since yesterday. The first one concerned
a rejected SMTP session, since the size of the sender message exceeded
the authorized size, so this one might be considered as ok, as you said.

However, the second one was related to an SMTP session, which didn't
produce any errors on sendmail side (eg, no size exceeded, connection
lost, etc...). The only point, is that the MUA which opened this session
was Outlook... so, maybe another Outlook bug ? :-)

By the way, logging was already enabled on mimedefang-multiplexor.

Our mail server is running RedHat 6.2, with Sendmail 8.12.1 (will be
upgraded soon).
I checked my outdated logfiles, and I'm 100% sure, this problem didn't
happen with previous versions of MIMEDefang.

Thanks for your time.
And once again, this tool R.O.C.K.S. :-)
