MailScanner generates an error message too :)

I could use sendmail but most of the `oversized' messages we actually
want/need. It's just that Mr. Gates thought it would be useful not to fill
exchange with large messages.

When MailScanner gets them I can still get the message from quarantine (as
long as people do not start e-mailing the latest Knoppix DVD iso all
should be well)

But thanks for the tip!
