    There isn't one by default. You can set it with the following in the first textbox of the Exim Configuration Editor:

    message_size_limit = 5M

    You can restrict the incoming as well as outgoing message size limit for mails in the cpanel server as below.

    Just add the following in the first part of exim.conf

    message_size_limit = 100M

    You may see such variables using the command exim-bP | grep limit

    Not sure if this can be configured for a domain am checking that too

    So, does anyone know how to limit the size of emails for a particular domain, or even email address? I get a lot of request from clients asking this.
