Consider what happens if someone sends an e-mail to one of these
two users, and some other users. What size limit do you apply?

Having said that, you should be able to write a rule in the DATA
ACL that has a condition based on $message_size. Something along
the lines of (completely untested):


message_size_limit = 200M


RCPT ACL:

warn
domains = +local_domains
local_part = largeuser1:largeuser2
set acl_m_largeok = 1


DATA ACL:

deny
condition = ${if !={$acl_m_largeok}{1}{1}{0}}
condition = ${if >{$message_size}{52428800}{1}{0}}
message = Message too large


You should really question why you want to allow 200M e-mails.
There are far more efficient ways of transferring large files.
