truncate body of DSN?

Is it possible to issue a DSN that doesnt include the whole body of the
failed delivery?

I'm pretty sure I've seen this but cant pin it down on google or bat book.

thanks

of course, as soon as I hit send...

PrivacyOptions=nobodyreturn

would appear to be what I'm after - are there any bad implications of
using this?

The only bad result I can think of is that senders who don't keep a
sent mail folder will not have a copy of the message to re-send. But
client defaults nudge everybody into keeping a sent mail folder
nowadays.

The great advantage is that if the message is spam or virus with a
faked sender, you won't be sending the bad content.

For your information:
Some time ago it was suggested to make sendmail support bounce size limit
e.g. bounce messages smaller than 10 KB with original body,
bounce messages bigger than 10 KB without original body.

AFAIR it required pretty simple source code patch.
