[Mailman-Developers] Sequence of steps?

[Roy Harvey]

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

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')
