Messages over the size limit are not typically blocked. Rather the
sending system sees the size limit and does even send the message,
returning a bounce to the sender instead.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.

Thank you for your reply. I did find the bounce that indicates that
the limit had been exceeded. I thought that the logs might also
reflect that it had been blocked.

Another question - can the message that the sender receives be modified?
