Can someone explain how a 6MB attachment got through our email filters? 
The email is here:
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/5124D2BE.5090001@gmail.com

Are there no email size limits on the bugs list?

Large emails hit the moderation queue. Someone must then have approved
it. If I'm understanding MJ2 correctly, -bugs has a 40KB limit before
moderation is required.
