Dear Mailman users, I recently had a message from a user of my Mailman account blocked because there were attachments that exceeded 2 MB. This is the message I got: "Message body is too big: 5312119 bytes with a limit of 2000 KB". Is there any way to increase the maximum allowable size of attachments?
Thanks, Ron Clarke

In Mailman 3, there is a list setting for maximum list size. See Postorius -> Settings -> Message Acceptance -> Maximum message size, but the message you got is from Mailman 2.1. The appropriate list for that is https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/
In MM 2.1 this is controlled by the list admin UI General Options -> max_message_size.

$ mailman withlist <listname> ...
m.max_message_size = 0 commit() ^D
Setting the message size to 0 removes the limit. I believe the size is specified in KB.
