This message size issue is an old one. It shows itself from time to time.

If you don't care to toss messages larger than a certain size perhaps you
could just drop them from circulation. As it is now D'Bridge is creating two
mangled messages every time it tosses a large message. The From:, To:, Date:
and MSGID is missing after passing through D'Bridge.

Best if you could just toss those messsages as usual but discarding them would
be better than what is happening now.
