Mark,
Thanks for your quick response. It sounds like you have this one under control. I am far removed from anything like mm_cfg.py as I use a hosting service. I will have to see what they think about making such a configuration change, and how much they want to make it. In any case, I really appreciate the help. Thanks again! Roy

That means the test for size comes BEFORE the message is "cleaned up" and reduced to simple text. My suggestion is to change the sequence of steps, so that the size filter is applied AFTER the message has been converted to plain text.
Yes, I agree that this is a problem, but it is easily configurable.
Here's what I've had in mm_cfg.py to do this on my production site for a long time
# # Put MimeDel ahead of Hold so "too big" is based on content filtered # message. # GLOBAL_PIPELINE.remove('MimeDel') GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold'), 'MimeDel') #
