That 'save to' seems to be coming from your system filter. I see that as
part of filter.txt (Exim filter specification).
You don't have the complete src for exim, otherwise your grep -R would
have found the string in exim-4.32/doc/filter.txt
Sincerely, I too really want to make a better message out of the
bounce_message when quota is exceeded.
