Did you set that in the individual list or mm_cfg.py.
If it's the later, you have to set it in the list if it was created before
you edited mm_cfg.py

I'm guessing that it wasn't approved by someone else, but you can always
check in your logs (~mailman/logs/vette).
It would look like this:
vette:Jan 14 04:22:35 2002 (5763) Zark post from vincent.fillion at ldcom.fr held: Le corps du message est trop gros: 6594549 octets avec une limite de 5000 KB
(except yours would be in English ;-D)
