Also in the milter vein, if you're conversant with Perl you could try MIMEDefang (it's in ports.) You could probably find a workable example for what you want to do from the MIMEDefang mailing list archives. http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/pipermail/mimedefang/ -- Mark Frank Director of Technical Services - eDoxs Corp.

See http://www.benzedrine.cx/milter-regex.html or http://www.snert.com/Software/milter-sender/ for somethings that might do the job -- except that apparently neither of those can filter by message size. Both are available in ports -- if the term 'Milter' means anything to you, and you're fluent at C programming then adding a check on message size might be possible.
