Limiting The Size Of Incoming Emails

[jos]

Is there a way to do this? I would like to set a maximum of, say, 20MB per email to prevent people from clogging up my mailbox, inadvertently or otherwise. Ideally, the server would reject the sender’s email with the message that its total size exceeds the maximum allowed.

There is no way to limit the size of a single message but there is a way to limit the size of the mailbox itself in cPanel under Email Accounts.

Thanks, Bruce. Is this because it will have to be a server-wide setting i.e. it would affect others using the same server?

There doesn't seem to be an option for it in cPanel other than a mailbox quota. Guess it was a cPanel decision.
