It is possible you just modified the messages in the MessageTooBig class
definition in Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py. The postheld.txt template is
also involved in the notice to the user, but it is used for all held
messages so it seems unlikely you changed that.

You can reject the message rather than holding it, but that would
require (further) modification to Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py.
