Yes. As the patch is now, no way.

Problem is to handle a big message when there are more recipients.
When there is one recipient only, I could set the acceptable message size
to the remaining user space. But what to do when there are more
recipients?

I cannot refuse a message for one user if the other has enough space.

Any comment is welcome.
