Skip scanning for large messages

Since most of the latest viruses are propagated through auto-generated
emails and usually have fixed sizes and are kept relatively small for faster
propagation, how do I configure MailScanner to NOT scan emails larger than
say  5MB?

We don't currently limit email size now so I'm concerned of overloading the
mail server by scanning all emails regardless of size.

Thanks,
Bernard
