seat post height

After I bought the B-17 saddle I needed to inrease the height of my seatpost (for my 1999 rigid MTB), and I have playing around with the height of the seatpost a little bit just today again. I just now discovered that my seatpost is further out than it should be (I guess) by about 3/4 of an inch. There was a line that looks like it indicates the max height. Has anybody had any real-world experience (for our type of commuting riding, not jumping off of rocks) with going outside the recommended range. Is there
someway to see if the seat post is holding up? Or do I need to buy a new (longer) seat post.
Thank you for any advice.
