Don't confuse a bounce with a reject.

A reject sends a short "550 rejected ..." response to the client 
during the SMTP transaction without returning any portion of the 
message.  The sender's mail server may send a bounce message to them, 
you have no control over that.

If you are sending bounces (you accept the mail, then send a DSN or a 
return message indicating non-delivery), you can control the size of 
the bounce with bounce_size_limit.
