I had some large messages come in as undeliverable. These were bounced to the me as the postmaster. The entire messages came to me. How do I make sure that only a notification comes to me, and not the entire oversized message?

I was unable to locate this in the docs/faq.

See "dsnlimit" in the courier(8) man page. The default limit is only 32K bytes.

Hmmm. I do not have this file. So according to the manpage it would default to 32K. Yet I still got one 45Megabyte and one 11megabyte rejected message sent to me.

Please note the following:

Upon further examination it looks like the messages were sent from my client to a third party via another MTA. This other MTA bounced the *entire* message back to my client's mailbox on my courier box. COurier was unable to deliver this to my client and sent it to me.

Any thoughts?
