I'm confused, maybe because I'm used to thinking in terms of 'queues' which
conceptually have two ends and two parties.

So the caller calls setMaxMailboxSize with a callee's Tid.  Then that caller
will not send messages unless the callee's mailbox is smaller than that
amount?

Will all callers obey the limit, or should they each set their own limit?
If the latter, then the design is as I thought.
