message_size_limit is the only way to do that - but obviously will not
do per-user..
How many different limits do you want? If there is one 'general limit'
and then a few specific users that have a higher limit, you could set
message_size_limit to the smaller size, and then run a seperate daemon
(with SMTP_AUTH to permit only specific users), wtih the large
message_size_limit...
