This would require changing the code in Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py. If
you want to do that, you'd find the code section

        if bodylen/1024.0 > mlist.max_message_size:
            hold_for_approval(mlist, msg, msgdata,
                              MessageTooBig(bodylen,
mlist.max_message_size))
            # no return


and if you want to just discard the messages, change it to

        if bodylen/1024.0 > mlist.max_message_size:
            raise Errors.DiscardMessage
            # no return

and if you want to reject the message, change it to something like

        if bodylen/1024.0 > mlist.max_message_size:
            raise Errors.RejectMessage, Utils.wrap(
                MessageTooBig(bodylen,
                    mlist.max_message_size).reason_notice())
            # no return

Note that the

                MessageTooBig(bodylen,
                    mlist.max_message_size).reason_notice())

above just creates the standard

Message body is too big: <bodylen> bytes with a limit of
<max_message_size> KB

message, but you could provide any message you want.
