I believe you need to look in /etc/sendmail.cf.  Look for the
MaxMessageSize option and set it to what you like.  Probably setting
it to zero would give you unlimited sizes, but that would be quite
foolish.  Better to set it to a very large number that you're sure you
will have the drive space to handle.  Otherwise you're going to
download an email from some hacker someday that is about 50GB in size,
all into your 20MB /var partition.  That's an exaggeration, but you
get the idea.
