The reject notice for a too big post is independent of whether the
poster is a list member or in accept_these_nonmembers.

If all you want to change is the "Message body is too big: 2236114
bytes with a limit of 256 KB"" line, you have to change that by
editing the definition of reason_notice in the MessageTooBig class in
Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py

If you want to change the Hold notice in general for all held messages,
you can make a sitewide, domain-specific or list-specific version of
the postheld.txt template as discussed at
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.048.htp>.

If you want to use a different template for only the 'too big' message,
that would require a significant code hack.
