I've been running at:

 MAXMSG_STATUS=4096
 MAXMSG_CLIENT=5120
 MAXMSG_DATA=4096
 MAXMSG_NOTES=4096

... for years now, mainly due to some legacy installs that sent high-res
sar data in client messages and some bulky xml in http content checks.

I haven't noticed any problems outside of the increased memory usage.

IIRC, unless you set it manually MAXMSG_CLICHG will take the value of
MAXMSG_CLIENT


HTH,
