If you configure your server to accept large messages, and one of your
users sends out a (say) 100MB message, anything could happen.
As you likely have no control over the recipients' mail servers, they
are free to reject the message for any reason they like, including size.
The error you get back depends entirely on what the remote server(s) is
(are) configured to say, and is not in any way predictable [0].

[0] Mostly predictable, yes, although I did once get a collateral spam
bounce telling me to "F*** off, your message is not welcome here".
Charming, I'm sure!
