Of course it is trivial.  There's no reason to include the body of a
message in the bounce.  Just send the first, say, 4k, of the message,
and rely on the sender to have saved a copy if they want to resend.  If
you are receptive to creeping features, qmail could try to send the
whole useless message body, and fall back to just the headers if that
fails.
