That said, I'd really like to understand what's the objective with this check
since it's only performed at request time and no longer after. Is this for
memory consumption, spam, something else? How is this goal achieved by
enforcing a check at request time only?
I don't know for sure as I didn't write that check.
What you say about spam is one possible reason to keep some kind of size
check, as the -request address may be abused to spam people.
The meaning of the check, based on what it actually does, is something
like "messages longer than this length are obviously/probably wrong and
should not be processed automatically".
If you have evidence (and I think you have) that nowadays it is "not so
obvious", I'm happy to increase the size, yes.
To summarize on this side: Do you think 16384 would be enough?
