Thanks for this trick, I may end up using that too.
I apologize for not being more specific, what I was initially trying to do
was to prevent people from sending big Emails.
I suppose I can hack something up in the remote_smtp transport, but I'm
guessing that the message will be accepted and then bounced.
It'd be better if I could reject a message that's too big while it's being
sent to my SMTP server by the client (either by looking at SIZE if it's
there, or after DATA has been transmitted) so that the offending user knows
about the problem right away and doesn't leave and bitch the next day that
his/her important Email didn't go through.
Thanks,
Marc
