This is indexed under "size limit" and "message size limit".

Use a system filter with a command something like this:

  if 
    $h_content-type: does not match "^$|doc|xls|txt"
  then
    fail "Silly security policy requires this message to be rejected."
  endif       


(The ^$ at the start matches an empty string - what you'll get if there
isn't a Content-Type: header at all.)

(A) Use a domainlist router to give a list of hosts.

or

(B) Use fallback_hosts.

Set up appropriate rewriting rules in the rewrite section of the
configuration. For example:

xx@??? aa@???

Not very difficult!
