Bug Description

OOPS-1726XMLP285 shows that mailman forwarded a message for moderation that exceeds the db storage limit.

    InvalidEmailMessage: Msg <email address hidden> size 25649793 exceeds limit 10485760

There are two views on this issue. The first is that this is a copy of a message mailman wants an admin to decide if the real message should be sent to the list or discarded--the person only needs to see enough to make a decision. the second issue is that mailman has rules for handling large messages and they do not appear to agree with Lp. The soft limit enters moderation (which is this case), and the hard limit is discarded immediately. I recall the soft limit was raised at the request of statik.

Fixing this may require updating the lpsize tests to unittests.

OOPS-1823M1158 indicates that the fix was not deployed to the production mailman instance. The revision was accidentally lost and I restored it a few weeks ago. We are waiting for either a full rollout or just an update of the production mailman tree.

I do not think this was fix released because that requires a rollout to forester.
