If it's an option, you can also lower your MaxMessageSize in your 
sendmail.cf file (if using sendmail).

    If you do so, make sure to also reduce the LOCAL_MAILER_MAX
setting (the "M=" equate on the set of flags for the procmail
mailer), otherwise when sendmail generates a bounce there's a
chance the body will get bounced too, but the body may be too
large to be accepted for bouncing, so it generates a bounce, ad
infinitum.

    If you have the same value in both places, sendmail is smart
and bounces only the headers.
