Nope, it was question of 0.5G mailer spool filling with
a flood of about 5MB error messages ...

Setting input message size limit to 1 MB, and killing all
spooled message files which size exceeded 1MB did get us
out of the tight spot..

As a result, you can't send thru VGER any message which size
exceeds that 1MB -- not that you would want to, either..
Digests may grow up to 100 kB, most messages are under 5 kB
in size.
