How would I set a MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE to 5MB, for example, for all lists? Or would this need to be done in the MTA?

#!/bin/sh f=mktemp echo max_message_size = 5000 > $f cd /path/to/mailman/ for l in bin/list_lists --bare ; do bin/config_list -i $f $l done rm $f

I would leave the DEFAULT_MAX_MESSAGE_SIZE to 40 KB, but don't want list owners to set it to 0 (unlimited).

Then you'd have to edit Mailman/Gui/General.py to remove that setting from the page. I.e. remove or comment these lines

('max_message_size', mm_cfg.Number, 7, 0,
 _('''Maximum length in kilobytes (KB) of a message body.  Use 0
 for no limit.''')),
