There are a couple of ways to handle this.

See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/24A9> for one approach.

A better way is to use the list's content filtering to remove any
text/html parts and collapse multipart/alternative to the first part
only.

This will make the message ultimately sent to the list smaller, but
won't stop it being held. If you have access to the Mailman
installation, you can avoid the hold by moving the MimeDel module
ahead of the Hold module in the processing pipeline by adding the
following to mm_cfg.py

#
# Put MimeDel ahead of Hold so "too big" is based on content filtered
# message.
#
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.remove('MimeDel')
GLOBAL_PIPELINE.insert(GLOBAL_PIPELINE.index('Hold'), 'MimeDel')
