There are at least three places that this information can be specified and
different events that activate the given values for each one.  The values
are written to the .SQD file and used until another method/event triggers
them to be "branded" into the .SQD file again.  The area
definition lines in SQUISH.CFG can contain -$m flag values
which are activated when Squish first creates the area to toss mail to it. 
The RENUM MAX  values entered in MSGAREA.CTL are activated when
you run SILT.  If you manually run SQSET AREATAG , then
the parameters are written immediately.

Most folks that are getting unexpected results are using more than one of
these available schemes with different values at the same time or are
unsure about exactly when/how new values take over.  Ex:  Changing the
SQUISH.CFG values after the data files already exist won't do anything,
changing the MSGAREA.CTL values without re-SILTing won't do anything,
running SQSET in a maintenance batch file will overwrite everything you did
elsewhere, etc.
