How would I change mail to not use that field? Is it a sendmail setting
or one specific to mail? I have sent through pine successfully so I
don't think it is sendmail.

If I remember correctly, Microsoft mail servers don't like the SIZE
argument.  You can check this by telneting to port 25 of your mail
server
and doing the messages by hand to see which of SIZE or AUTH it doesn't
like.
