Yea, i know... but the thing is:

I have a mail server (Postfix), and if I restrict the size of messages
up to 2 MB.. then a user send an email (3 MB) and Postfix receive the
message an then say: "You cannot send this message because of the
size"... and send a notification to the user... so I want to stop the
packets before them arrives to Postfix... and take off this load to the
mail server...  

Now is better explain? 

Regars,...

Michael.-
