Why bother to freeze? Why not just reject? Anyway, you can still modify the
filter to do what you want.
I'd rather you reject the messages so that the senders get to know.
A router that can do that is below: Put the router after your
system_aliases router:


reject_by_size:
 driver         = redirect
 condition      = ${if > {$message_size}\
                  {${lookup {$local_part} lsearch \
                  {/usr/local/etc/exim/message_sizes}{$value}{500K}}} \
                  {yes}{no}}
 data           = :fail: Message too big (maximum size accepted is ${lookup {$local_part} \
                  lsearch {/usr/local/etc/exim/message_sizes} {$value} {500K}})
 local_parts    = passwd;$local_part
 allow_fail



The /usr/local/etc/exim/message_sizes can contain user preferred sizes:

*: 500K
user2: 1M
