You can't. Most SMTP clients give up after you reply to EHLO reporting
your message size limit. They never attempt to send the message, and
you never get to say "no, but try this instead"...

odd because I've received rejection messages from servers that my mail was not accepted on account of the attachment size and that I can use a dropbox.

if your statement is true, what about increasing the message size acceptable (or removing the limit if possible) and handling the limit in some other way?
