POP3 supports selective retrieval and deletion, so users with non-brain 
dead clients can delete huge attachments or bounce messages without having 
to download them first.

So you're talking about truncating messages before they're bounced back to 
a local user, right? Well, I'm pretty sure qmail doesn't natively support 
that. As a practical matter, I'd probably create a .qmail-default file 
with a formail handler for stripping out the mime stuff.

If you really want to handle it in the MTA, you're going to have to patch 
or pipeline, and I don't know of any other resource besides qmail.org that 
would likely have something like that.

If you find a better answer, let me know. I'm curious to find out what you 
decide to do.
