cool!


I would humbly recommend:


1: Have the code set maxpeek to some smaller default than unlimited
under the Principle of least astonishment.  I would rather have a large
email not get fully processed with a " ignoring message beyond maxpeek"
syslog entry than have the milter fail completely (or in one case of
mine crash the entire server that required pulling the power cord to
recover).  


2: adding maxpeek to the default .conf file # I would have seen it right
away

2a: adding all config options in the man page to the default .conf file,
possibly commented out.

2b: I can do the default .conf over the next couple days and send a
patch if you like.

Let's face it, there's no Hollow Earth, no robots, and
no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense.  I tried it.  Only tinfoil works.
