Note that the tagging approach is not only awkward but also
fails if the response is chunk-encoded in which cases there
is no Content-Length header to use.

Unfortunately there currently isn't.

You're not the first one interested in this so I've added:

| Add a directive to reject responses whose size is above a certain limit.

to the TODO list (not yet pushed to git master).

By the way, I got a request for approval from Mailman for
another message from you but did not see it in the queue
when I approved the message I'm replying to now.

Did you instruct Mailman to delete it?

If not, please send it again.

Fabian
