Max_message_size not taking effect

[imysl0]

When I try to send larger attachments (30.33MB), it always fails, but attachments of 13.66MB can be sent successfully. My settings allow for much more than 30.33MB, so why am I still encountering failures when sending the larger file?

Unable to reproduce the issue, however, another one exists - the returned error is not correct, SMTP client sees "Internal server error" instead of Maximum message size exceeded.
