Actually, I rarely imposed any limits on the lists I set up unless
specfically asked to.  The note about msgsize is there more as a
reminder for when list admins request it.

I think the only lists that use limits comprehensively are the gcc
lists, which IIRC, restrict posts to ~100k.

In any event, someone with 'alias' access (which really means root
access) has to make changes to a list like this.
