:) The body is parsed by a routine called &parse_body.  If this returns any
:) text (or if any of the other parsing steps returned any text) then the
:) message is bounced with that text as the bounce reason.  The logical thing
:) to do would be to set a global if the length check fails in &parse_body,
:) then call an alternate bounce routine (which it seems you have already
:) written) if that global is set.  In fact, the length check already sets a
:) global, $already_bitched_about_length (I didn't name it), so alter the call
:) to &bounce around line 457 of resent to call something else if
:) $already_bitched_about_length is set.
Thank you for your time. Sorry to be such a pain.
