It would be a hack, but you could use SIMS's 'NotifyMail' option, then use the notify 
client <http://www.mac.org/system/notifymail/> to run something to kill the mail from 
the mailbox.

Or would folder action scripts work?  I've never used them myself...

Or...
Have a non-mirroring account with messages saved individually to a folder, and a 
separate account [EMAIL PROTECTED] with mirroring to the list members.  Then 
you could have a script that periodically checks the folder.  If it finds a message it 
checks the size, then alters some of the headers as appropriate including changing the 
'to' header to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', then drops the message into the SIMS 
submitted folder for delivery and subsequent mirroring.

Or...
you could stop trying to make SIMS do a job it wasn't designed for and get yourself a 
proper listserv app!
