Removing attachments but delivering the message

[Julian Field]

For the attachments, I'm not sure why you aren't still receiving the 
"got the message but the attachment was too large" message, I would have 
to take a look at your system setup to see that one. As to making it set 
the attachment size limit depending on the subject, that could be done 
with a very short Custom Function that looked at "$message->{subject}" 
to decide what value to return to the attachment limit configuration 
setting.

Hope that helps a bit,
Jules.
