NDR's on exchange 2003

Hi,

We have noticed through our mail reporting that we have installed on our
server, that when a user on our network receives a mail message that is
larger than his allowed message size as set on his user account, then the
exchange server generates an NDR to the original sender, but includes the
attachments that were part of the original mail. Thus, we have a user who
has a limit of 2Mb for receiving mail, and someone sends them a mail message
which is 13mb in size. Our logs then show this 13Mb email coming into the
exchange server, and then a 13Mb email being sent to the original user from
mail address none@none - this is seems is the NDR.

Is there a way of telling exchange to send an NDR, but without the original
attachments? Sending it with the attachment is really using unnecessary
bandwidth.

Can one customise the NDR in terms of wording?

Thanks
Andrew
