personally I would use the system filter, depending on how many users, which
works fine at a school I setup.
if ($message_size is above 10M and
$sender_address does not match
"(user1\\@domain|user2\\@domain|user3\\@domain|user4\\@domain)")
then
fail text "Your e-mail is too big. The Email limit is 8 Megabytes.\n \
\tUse some sort of compression program and send it again or \n \
\tuse another method to send the file."
endif
Don't forget that if you an attachment that gets encoded that there is about
25% overhead.

Nobody really knows what is going on anywhere within the organization.
