I've been asking at the google groups mailing list with no results so I
figure I'd try this list:

how can I customise the notice sent to a user when hir messages exceeds my

You can't. Most SMTP clients give up after you reply to EHLO reporting
your message size limit. They never attempt to send the message, and
you never get to say "no, but try this instead"...

odd because I've received rejection messages from servers that my mail was not accepted on account of the attachment size and that I can use a dropbox.

Then they first accepted the mail and THEN rejected it or they are not using postfix.

if your statement is true, what about increasing the message size acceptable (or removing the limit if possible) and handling the limit in some other way?

You can do that. Read up on Policy Servers
