The maximum size of a message can be set using the MaxMessageSize option in your sendmail.cf file located in /etc or /etc/mail. I believe sendmail will take in the entire message before rejecting it. You can tweak the rejection to happen before accepting the entire message by adding some code in the check_compat area of the sendmail source to read the ESMTP header and look for file sizes above the set limit.
More information on the settings can be found at http://www.sendmail.org/m4/tweakingoptions.html.
