Certainly not for all mail, just for these
circumstances... but I understand you want to avoid situations where this is
done accidentally.
I think a couple of people had a size test, and
you could key off of the number of recipients in combination with this to
perform a custom action like routing or deleting... or route it to a program
alias that sends you an alert notification.

Hi,
Nope, we don't want to go that way for ALL
mail. We''ve got several options to upload files for several purpouses
within our school. Our website has lot's of option for that but......
sometimes we want to send something as an attachment. In this case it was a
newsletter for our staf which was supposed to be about 200-300 KB, we want
those newsletters sent as attachment, not as a link.
For some reason the newsletter ended
up to be a Word document 5MB large and was sent without realising it. After
that it was sent once more. This time as a PDF file....... which happened to
be 33MB large and was created using the Word document as a base. :-( Both
mails went to 250+ recipients. The first mail did not kill the mailserver,
the second did. :-(
For exceptions like these I want to have a tool
to catch them before it fills up the server.

How about implementing a web-based
upload/download site for this. I've done this for a couple of
graphic design firms to allow their customers to upload files, which then
sends the intended recipient an email notification with a link to
download.
Much, much more efficient than SMTP (mail
encoding generally runs up the file size about 33% or so), faster, and
much less network traffic in a distribution situation since many of the
recipients will not download the file.
Also doesn't hang the user's mailbox when
sending/receiving for several minutes while
uploading/downloading.

Hi,
We are a school and:
- sometimes someone needs to send a
large e-mail (20-30 MB) to one of the staf or students.
- several times a day we send e-mails to
large groups of students so the BCC field might contain up to 1500
addresses.
Both items are no problem until they are
combined like some tried today. :-( Suddenly I lost around 15GB of
diskspace on my mailserver. At least that is what IMail tried because I
only had about 10GB left on my mailbox drive. Guess what happened?
Is there a way using Declude Junkmail to flag
this situation and stopping the e-mail while still allowing the two items
above?
I'm currently using Declude 2.16, Junkmail
Std and AV Pro.
