Yes, that is set to "Yes"

And the list manager is explicitly specified with their full email address
But it doesn't send any message to either the list manager OR the
person who sent the message that was too big. The message that
is too big isn't distributed to the list and it isn't in the archive
It just goes into a black hole & is never seen again.
But the sender doesn't know this, if they weren't a list member they
wouldn't expect anything (if posting isn't restricted to list members)
so assume that the message was sent and distributed OK
