Why? It's a compile-time constant in sendmail/libmilter. In Postfix,
MILTER_CHUNK_SIZE is not the only constant to limit packet sizes.
There is also the XXX_MAX_DATA sanity limit for responses from the
Milters, that will trigger a panic if the size is exceeded (that
should probably be just a protocol error). All that stuff would
need to be updated to make the packet size configurable without
introducing unstable edge cases.
