No, because the rejection happens as the message is being received by
your host, so it never actually arrives on your system. If you want to
do this, you must accept messages of any size, and then reject them in a
system filter, in which you could also arrange to notify the recipients.

Use a rewriting rule. This operates when the message is received.
