reason for breaching max_message_size is "N/A"
Hi.
Today I learned to things: The default max_message_size is 40kB. Messages larger than that are blocked (expected) with the reason "N/A" (not expected). The reason would be helpful to me as admin.
Also: Is there any way to set a server default for this as it is a bit of a hassle to change it from the command line for each new list. I can of course find where in the code to change but that seems the wrong way to me.

This would actually be a fairly easy fix. The MaximumSize rule in mailman/rules/max_size.py really just needs to set the msgdata's 'moderation_reason' key to whatever we want the text to read.

There's no server default, but the way to do it would be to create a style based on the legacy-default style which overrides the setting of mlist.max_message_size. There should be a way of doing this as a plugin site wide, without hacking the code, but I don't have the time to write up the details of that atm.
