The issue isn't the actual file size, but the compression ratio of the
file.  This test is designed for archive bombs and the like.

If you find that you are getting false positives, you can up the
ArchiveMaxCompressionRatio or get rid of ArchiveBlockMax.  

This is not a false positive, but a configuration setting.  I feel like
it is fairly clear in the documentation, and yet I get one of these
reports every couple of months or so.  What can I do to make it more
clear that this is configurable?  Do you have any suggestions?
