Hi tom, Then why not increase the msg size to 20kb instead of 10? This will help a little perhaps?

Well, unfortunately as far as I can tell there is no option to just return the message to the sender. It deletes it and sends them a rejection message instead. I think this is because the author's of the Mailman software assume if a moderator chooses to reject it there would be no need for the original sender to revize the message and resend it. Damien and I really have no control over that. As to the entire topic of message lengths Damien and I were just discussing this, and there is a lot of negative drawbacks to letting people having unlimited message size. Not just because most of the messages will have the last 50 messages, but it will eventually slow down how quickly Mailman can recieve and repost messages in the queue. Plus it will use up our months worth of bandwidth much quicker for which the Audyssey maintainer is responsible for paying. Therefore the reasons why we restrict the message length make sense, are reasonable, even if they are not self-evident to the list members. Cheers!
