their is a patch available for limitting bounce sizes. Maybe it is still on

How do I limit the filesize in bounces?
Too often, a customer sent a huge mail mail through our mail
relay which could not be delivered to the destination because
of the size. It could not be returned to the sender either,
because it is too large. And the whole message ends up in
my postmaster ma
Ah.. I may have figured out my problem.. when I cut and paste the scripts
from either qmail howto web site, some of the commands are returned to the
next line, which screws everything up. I've removed my loop problem, and I
think it's fixed now.

Nope, qmail gives a misleading response. It accepts the message and then

Greetings,
I read every thread on getting pine-4.10 to work with qmail-1.03 and I
still can't get pine to read the Maildir format.
I downloaded the patched pine src from
http://3.am/pine4.10.maildir.tar.gz and built it on an Intel Solaris 2.6
box.
What I have tried to get pine to read Maildir:
I was able to stop qmail, and when I restart it I get a continual loop:
Starting mail-transfer agent: qmail[1] 561
