DBMail doesn't have a max mail size. If you use MySQL, you must however
check some settings in my.cnf:


from INSTALL:

A special note to MySQL users: since DBMail 3.0 stores attachments in
single rows, you need to set 'max_allowed_packet' in /etc/mysql/my.cnf
to a value that is larger than the largest email attachment you expect
to support.

So if you accept emails upto say 20MB, you should set a value for
'max_allowed_packet' of no less than 21MB, leaving some room for
network overhead. If you want to be safe: use 1.5 times the max
message size.
