William, Agreed. Filtering on message size and acting on it would be best done at the server level, from an admin's point of view. Until such time as Ipswitch can incorporate a "size" attribute in its set of inbound rules (the wish-list item), RMilner is out of luck pursuing his initial goal.
However, for this to work flawlessly, all mail servers would need to send size information for every message they deliver during the initial SMTPD transaction (namely, before the DATA segment).
