Write a small script in python or perl that's run after fetchmail terminates. 
It should pick up the headers of the mail, send a mail off to the reply-to 
address saying that the mail has been rejected etc due to size, and then 
delete the mail from the server. Not so tough - abt 60-70 lines of python 
code methinks.
