$names = substr($names, 0, LENGTH);

We use something like this:

"Message rejected for policy reasons.  For assistance, please call
+1 613-231-6599 and quote Incident ID 9999999."

(Our anti-spam system assigns integer IDs; you could use Sendmail queue
identifiers or whatever you need to hunt the problem down.)

In some 6 years of doing this, we've been called exactly once.

Regards,

David.
