This is not an attempt to start a discussion or debate about optimal
message sizes or the reasons therefor. None of that is relevant to my
query.

I request NNTP sysops to respond with the exact maximum message size
enforced by their configurations for:

1. Posting
2. Forwarding / Receiving from other peers.

I do not need to know the addresses of the servers. I just need maxsize
numbers that are in actual use.

I am making an application and this information may be helpful in
tailoring the default settings of the installation script.

I only run a testing news server so my configuration does not count much
(I have set up 600 kB for both values, which is enough for large FAQs).

I am however peering with feeds that ask for articles of less than 256
kiB (about 262 kB) or even 100 kB for one.

[news@kvm ~]$ grep maxartsize etc/inn.conf
