policyd is a policy server, which can be used in postfix, and can
be used to acchieve quota limitations to help you solve this kind of
situations.
you should take a look in it: http://www.policyd.org/
Making this limitation on dovecot, if possible, would limit the
delivery only for your local users. And i'm sure your employees are also
sending those powerpoint stuff to outside users as well. So, the right
place to limit this is postfix, which handles all users, local and
remote ones.

I have a mail server with postfix, dovecot (1.2.15) and deliver lda
(dovecot) with 350 users.
I have the problem that in this christmas the employees are sending some
big files (mainly powerpoints files) to a lot of recipients, because of
that the server get a lot of charge (is a Xeon quad core 5405 with 4GB
of Ram), i have four disks in Raid 5 configuration (HP E200 controller,
not very fast)
Is there any option to limit this type of delivery, the total size of
the mails delivered to each user (total recipients * size of mail), in
dovecot deliver.
I don't want to limit the concurrent delivery more lower than 350
recipients and the max size of the mail we can send is 15M.
Thanks a lot,
