That happens to me a lot, and results in the setting of the bounce flag
on my main SpamCop reporting page.

I pointed out to SpamCop that smaller message should be sent, rather
than aggregating multiple notifications, so as not to exceed the size
limits that my email account will receive.  SpamCop should not presume
to send arbitrarily large messages -- that is what (some) spammers do.

In my case the setting of the bounce flag is the only bad effect --
I do not use the notification messages at all.  I automatically discard
them.
