Unless you've re-sent the mail locally (through one of the stream_by_ 
functions), you're not generating the bounce notice at all.  action_bounce 
only issues an SMTP reject code.  The notice you're seeing is actually 
generated by whichever server passed the mail to you.

If you have another server funnelling mail to the MIMEDefang server, you 
can reconfigure that one to generate  notices without attachments, but 
unfortunately you can't configure servers that aren't under your control.
