version 2.1.11.cp3 :

[Mark Sapiro (msapiro)]

The message was 5486 bytes before content filtering. If you want to filter the content before checking for size and other miscellaneous holds, put something like the following in mm_cfg.py

#
# Put MimeDel ahead of Hold so "too big" is based on content filtered
# message.
#
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.remove('MimeDel')
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold'), 'MimeDel')

Also, I just noticed "version 2.1.11.cp3". See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/sYA9>.
