Sounds like the -server- (aka 'MTA') is offline, and those messages should 
be retried; if they're not being retried, something is generally wrong and 
resetting the bounce counts is only masking that problem.

Another option is to create a size-limited list and add that to the main 
list. Or just add a size limit to the existing list.... unless you're 
sending pictures or large files, most things can be said in under 50kb :) 
(and IMHO there are better ways of distributing larger files than email).
