The body (or, as I suspect you really meant, the headers) is irrelevant,
it's the envelope you should inspect. A policy server can record the
number of recipients in a message and reject the message if a particular
condition is met. Check out existing policy servers like policyd and see
if they meet your requirements.

Of course, the users will find ways around this -- sending multiple
messages or just keep sending the messages but to fewer people. You have
a social problem, not a technical one.
