""email is correct on receiving server but the recipient is over its size limit....""
Yes, the generic code that is returned is 'failure', thus the 'fail to' email address gets the response. I would suggest that your cfpop do a quick and dirty search for possible reasons for non-delivery of the email and only delete the ones reported as 'unrecoverable'.
