As you can see in getmail configuration getmail is calling sendmail. AFAIK if
postfix reject the mail (because of too large) sendmail returns error code and
so getmail don't delete the mail from ISP and do nothing.

Yes but my ISP will accept also big messages and I don't want to process
messages bigger than 10 MB for instance. Yes the backscatter could be problem
but now I have problem that mails bigger than 10 MB will stay on ISP server
forever and I can do nothing about it (I can delete it from ISP webmail
interface but thi is not a rela solution).
thanks Trigve
