Answer 1

The answer was staring me in the face.

The config generated by svcutil was for the client. I was using it on the server.

I was editing the bindings for the endpoints specified under , which made absolutely no difference to the service.

Adding a proper endpoint and setting the maxReceivedMessageSize and maxBufferSize on its binding resolved the issue.
