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.
Then they first accepted the mail and THEN rejected it or they are
not using postfix.
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?
You can do that. Read up on Policy Servers
http://www.google.com/search?q=policy&sitesearch=www.postfix.org
that's it! I guess when I have the time (rare) I'll write up a policy
delegate to do the above and publish it. though it occurs to me it'll
only be half as interesting since I can't do anything about size
limits for the sender.
